Introduction to fundamental principles of
electrochemistry and electrochemical methods of analysis. The course will cover
topics in physical as well as electroanalytical chemistry including thermodynamics,
electrode potentials, galvanic and electrolytic cells, electrode kinetics,
dynamic electrochemistry, mass transport by migration, diffusion and
convection, diffusion layers, and electrochemical instrumentation and
techniques. The student will learn about the theoretical and practical aspects
of electrochemical measurements whether they be used for determining some physical
property in a system. Using a combination of problem-based learning approaches
and traditional lectures, the student will develop critical thinking skills in
the areas of electrochemical method and data interpretation.
