CHEM 6540 - Electrochemistry


The chief objectives of this course are to build knowledge and practical understanding of electrochemistry. The course will cover the basics of electrode processes and how thermodynamics, electron-transfer kinetics and mass transport control electrochemical reactions. It will also cover how to design electrochemical experiments to solve problems in chemical analysis. Students will learn about ways in which electrochemical methods are used to solve problems in energy and the environment, and how to evaluate the resulting data.
