Objectives of the Course

The aim of this course is to provide basic information about the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions.

Course Content

The thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reaction are examined in detail and the resulting concepts and equations are related to individual techniques. Various voltammetric techniques is investigated especially in relation to chemical analysis. Electrodes used in voltammetry and modified electrodes are introduced and also setup of voltammetric experiments are demonstrated.
