Grundlagen der Elektrochemie, Klausur

What it is about

You receive a compact introduction to electrochemical fundamentals and common electroanalytical methods. You will learn thermodynamics and electrode potentials, ion transport, electrode kinetics as well as mass transport and you will be able to apply this knowledge to methods such as cyclic voltammetry, rotating disk, microelectrodes and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. In addition, solid-state conductivities and thermoelectric materials as well as complementary spectroscopic methods are covered.

What you will be able to do

identify and critically evaluate relevant research literature on electrochemistry
develop experimental approaches to answer specific research questions
knowledge of common electroanalytical techniques (e.g. CV, RDE)
understanding of fundamental electrochemical processes (e.g. ion transport, electrode kinetics, electrochemical potential)

What the module consists of

VorlesungConveys the majority of the content, including theoretical derivations and examples
ÜbungDeepens selected content, includes weekly problem sheets and discussions, integration of current research questions

Teaching method

Tafel-/Whiteboard-Diskussionenfor explaining derivations and illustrating examples
Vorlesungsfolien / PowerPointfor the structured presentation of core content
Wöchentliche Übungsblätterto actively revisit content, handle qualitatively and quantitatively, and integrate research topics
Diskussionen mit Tutorento clarify questions and address current research questions
Q&A-Sitzung am Semesterendeto prepare for the final exam

What you should already know

Grundkenntnisse in physikalischer Chemie (Thermodynamik und Kinetik)recommended

Assessment

Written examWritten testProject workReportPresentationOral examPortfolioListening comprehension

90-minute exam (written). Allowed are pen, ruler and a non-programmable pocket calculator. The exam covers the entire lecture and tests the ability to solve typical electrochemical problems independently as well as understanding and analyzing underlying phenomena and their influence on practical applications (e.g. batteries, fuel cells).
