2.Course Introduction
By means of electrochemical instruments, researchers are capable to control and track the transport of electrons between conductors. It is a real-time and highly sensitive technique reflecting the conversion process from electric energy to chemical energy. Electrochemistry is widely applied in the research of chemistry and chemical engineering, material science, and biology et al. This course starts with the introduction of basic theories in electrochemistry including fundamental concepts, electrode/electrolyte interface properties, and thermodynamic and kinetic of electrochemical reactions. Besides, several electrochemical analytical methods are introduced such as Cyclic Voltammetry and Impedance Spectroscopy etc. On the basis of the theories and methods, this course will further discuss several research frontiers in electrochemistry. |
3.Learning Goal
The main objectives include: (1) to make students grasp the basic knowledge and principles systematically and to improve the understanding of electrochemical nature for practical use; (2) to help students form the scientific ways of thinking, foster the capability of raising questions, studying questions and analyzing questions, and especially cultivate the abilities to acquire knowledge and solve practical problems. |
4.Instructional Pedagogy
Classroom teaching by PPT, white board and discussion. |
