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
