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 batteries, fuel cells and applied measurements 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
