Ntroduction to Electrochemistry# The Electrode-solution Interface, Cell Types, Voltage Losses. Electrochemical Thermodynamics And Kinetics# Nernst, Arrhenius and Tafel Equations, Butler-volmer Model, Single and Multi-step Mechanisms, The Marcus Theory. Mass Transfer# Fick and Cottrell Experiments, The Diffusion Layer. a Central Focus# Voltammetry. Coupled Electrochemical-chemical Reactions, Mechanism Elucidation. Hydrodynamic Methods (rotating Electrodes). Impedance-based Methods. Applied Electrochemistry# Electrolysis, Electrolysis, Electro-synthesis, Energy Storage and Conversion. Learning Outcomes# By The End of The Course, The Students Willl Have Mastered The Basics of Modern Electrochemistry, Both As an Analytical Tool Towards Material Characterization and Reaction Mechanism Elucidation, and As a Broadly Applicable Synthetic Tool. Students Will Be Able to Plan Electrochemical Experiments and Analyze Results From a Variety of Techniques. Students Will Acquire a Critical Approach to Analyzing The Electrochemical Literature.
