Introduction to Electrochemistry (online)

The objectives of this course are to develop an understanding of electrochemistry and its specific concepts and to grasp the various conceptual approaches to describe cells, reactions, and their limitations.

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: Give an overview of modern electrochemical terms and concepts Explain the key principles of electrochemistry, e.g. redox reactions Describe the fundamentals of an electrochemical cell, such as the role of the anode/​cathode/​electrolyte Evaluate a cell’s potential and predict the effect of concentration and temperature on an electrochemical reaction using the Nernst equation Explain the basics of kinetics and mass transport of species in an electrochemical cell Explain the principles (thermodynamics, kinetics, mass transport) governing an electrochemical reaction Organize and execute project work based on the knowledge obtained Communicate project work results orally and in writing Evaluate a scientific presentation and give constructive feedback to peers
