Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide students with a theoretical understanding of electroanalytical techniques, to teach the working principles of core methods such as voltammetry, amperometry, and potentiometry, and to introduce their applications in medical, environmental, and industrial analysis.

Course Content

This course covers the fundamental concepts and techniques of electroanalytical chemistry on a theoretical level. Topics include electrode systems, potentiometric and voltammetric analyses, electrochemical cell structures, and data interpretation methods. In addition, examples of how these techniques are applied in health, environmental, and industrial fields are discussed.
