Learning outcomes
|
In this course, student will gain basic information on electrochemistry, cyclic voltammetry and its application to electrochemical systems, differences between reversible and irreversible system. The course is designated primarily to students of Physics, Chemistry, Biophysics and Biochemistry, but it benefits also to all students that come to contact with electrochemical analysis.
The students will gain information about electrochemistry and its applications. They will be able to perform their own Cyclic Voltammetry measurements. They will learn the prepare the electrolyte and reference electrode for aqueous as well as non-aqueous solutions.
