Course description and aims

In the field of electrochemistry, charge transfer and materials diffusion are very important. In addition, electrochemistry has strong relation with thermodynamics and photochemistry. This course introduces and explains the electrochemistry by considering its relation with basic materials science and applied materials engineering. This course also explains applied measurement of electrical engineering of materials.

Student learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to understand electrochemical phenomena, electrochemical reaction and their evaluation on materials, and applications of electrochemistry.

Keywords

electrochemistry, thermodynamics, standard electrode potential, diffusion, voltammetry, interface, electrolyte, battery, photochemistry

Competencies that will be developed

✔ Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow
