Module overview
Electrochemistry is an important area of science covering many interesting topics of current scientific research. For example, it is key to the development of new power sources (fuel cells and electroysers) as well as for the development of new sensing strategies, and the understanding of parasitic corrosion effects, which will be covered in this module. The course is designed to build on previous courses and extend the understanding and knowledge developed to encompass new techniques and approaches (e.g. cyclic voltammetry, rotating disc electrodes, microelectrodes and AC impedance) and their applications to characterise electrochemical systems and reactions.
