The goal | • Comprehend the electrochemical reactions as complex heterogeneous processes ; • Learn to analyze the factors that affect the reaction rate ; • Master electrochemical methods and familiarize with some of the non-electrochemical methods used for characterization of electrochemical processes (to understand their capabilities and limitations, select appropriate method and to analyze the results) | |||
The outcome | Student is capable to: ; • Read scientific literature independently and critically ; • Examine electrochemical reactions in the fields of electrocatalysis, corrosion, electrodeposition of metals, electrochemical synthesis etc. ; • Present the experimental results clearly ; • Study various fields of electrochemical engineering and technologies using knowledge and skills acquired during this course | |||
Contents | ||||
Contents of lectures | 1. Phenomenological approach to the kinetics of electrochemical reactions (reaction under activation and activation-diffusion control, reaction with preceding homogeneous chemical reaction, reaction with adsorbed intermediates) ; 2. Theoretical consideration of electron transfer on the metal/solution and semiconductor/solution interface ; 3. Electrochemical methods of measurements (electrochemical instrumentation, organizing electrochemical experiments, steady-state measurements, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry and spectroscopy of electrochemical impedance) ; 4. Non-electrochemical methods in study of the electrochemical reactions and characterization of electrode materials (electrochemical quartz nanobalance, electrochemical scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, differential mass spectroscopy etc). | |||
Contents of exercises | Training for use of computerized potentiostat and application of one of the electrochemical methods of measurement in study of selected electrochemical reaction | |||
