Course Objectives The aim of the course explains electrochemical methods and fundamentals and gives an overview of application areas. It explains electrochemical methods like Potentiometry, coulometry, voltammetry, chronometry, polarography etc. Also, the course explains how electrochemical methods can be used with other spectroscopic (UV-vis, ESR, impedance). It explain the preparation and cleaning of the electrodes which are used in electrochemical studies.
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Discuss an overview of terminology, fundamental equations, and electrochemical concepts.
  • Describe experimental electrochemical methods.
  • Explain basic equilibrium measurements and Nernst equation.
  • Explain potentiometry, coulometry, chronometry, and polarography methods.
  • Explain how the electrodes can be prepared and cleaned.
  • Explain how the electrochemistry can be used with other spectroscopic methods.
  • Describe common methods like UV-vis, ESR ve impedance.
