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: • Examine electrochemical reactions in the fields of electrocatalysis, corrosion, electrodeposition of metals, electrochemical synthesis etc. • Present the experimental results clearly • Read scientific literature independently and critically • Study various fields of electrochemical engineering and technologies using knowledge and skills acquired during this course | |||
Contents | ||||
Contents of lectures | • Phenomenological approach to the kinetics of electrochemical reactions (single-step reaction under activation and activation-diffusion control, multi-step reactions, electrochemical reaction with preceding homogeneous chemical reaction, electrochemical reaction with adsorbed intermediates) • The Marcus theory of charge transfer • Electrochemical methods of measurements (electrochemical instrumentation, types of the electodes - rotating disk- and ring-disk electrode, microelectrode, organizing electrochemical experiments, steady-state measurements, chronoamperometry, chronopotentiometry, cyclic voltammetry and spectroscopy of electrochemical impedance) • Non-electrochemical in-situ methods in study of the electrochemical reactions (electrochemical quartz nanobalance, electrochemical scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, differential mass spectroscopy etc). | |||
Contents of exercises | Study research work about a choosen non-electrochemical method for investigation of the electrochemical reactions with the examples of the application of the method from the latest scientific literature; presentation of this study | |||
