This course focuses on the electrode process of organic compounds to understand organic/material synthesis. Students will learn fundamental methods, general reaction mechanism and advanced procedures of organic electrode processes.
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Have an understanding of the electron-transfer behavior of organic compounds.
2) Understand the synthetic and material applications of electrogenerated species.
Organic electrosynthesis, Electron transfer, Oxidation and reduction, Electrogenerated species, Electropolymerization
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
At the end of class, students are given exercise problems to solve.
