Electrochemistry is a foundation stone for many exciting developments in, for example, chemistry, biology and materials, and it is also central to many technologies essential to modern living. In this course, you will learn about the key fundamental processes that affect basic and more complex electrochemical reactions and about the principles and techniques that enable us to study such fundamental processes.
Having successfully completed this module you will be able to:
Thermodynamics of electrochemical reactions
Electron transfer and mass transport
Metals and solutions
The electrochemical double layer
Complex electrochemical reactions
Teaching methods: Lectures, directed reading, workshops, Bb online support.
Learning methods: Independent study, student motivated peer group study, student driven tutor support
