CH3: Electrochemistry in Chemical Reactivity: Basic Principles and Applications

label Diverse autorenew 2025-09-29, 17:01 history_edu Diana Ignat
Many chemical reactions involve redox processes i.e. the transfer of electrons. Electrochemistry offers the means to investigate both the energy and the mechanisms related to these reactions by directly observing the electrons involved in the process. This course will focus on the fundamentals of electrochemistry and how a chemist may use the discussed techniques to advantage in the study of chemical systems. Wherever possible, the principles will be illustrated with examples drawn from chemical applications of the discussed techniques.

Period
18-08-2014 - 22-08-2014 (1 weeks)

Target group
The course is targeted at the advanced undergraduate and graduate/post graduate level students in chemistry. No prior experience on electrochemistry is required.
