| The goal | • Understanding of electrochemical reaction as a complex heterogeneous chemical reaction and enabling to analyze the factors influencing the reaction rate by applying principles of formal chemical kinetics and mass transfer to the kinetics of electrochemical reactions • Acquiring theoretical background of the main experimental methods in electrochemical kinetics and ability to perform electrochemical experiments using conventional electrochemical instrumentation • Application of the theoretical and experimental skills to the electrochemical systems of a practical importance | |||
| The outcome | • Student learnt basic principles and formal mathematic treatment of the electrochemical reactions kinetics and the experimental methods • Student is able to perform electrochemical experiments and to use electrochemical instrumentation • Student acquired necessary background for further study of various fields of electrochemistry (electrochemical deposition of metals, electrochemical power sources, corrosion, electrocatalysis, electroanalytical chemistry etc.) | |||
