Course description and aims

[Summary of the course] This course focuses on the application fields of electrochemistry, following to the basic electrochemistry (Electrochemistry in energy systems). The essence of basic electrochemistry is described, then the applications in various fields such as batteries and electrolysis are described. Electrochemical analysis is also described.
[Aim of the course] Based on the basic electrochemistry, the class aims understanding of its applications in various fields such as batteries and electrolysis and also in analysis.
