Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry

Educational and
professional goals:

Learning about current trends in electrochemistry and electroanalysis with reference to materials chemistry aspects: modified electrodes, analytical voltammetry, charge storage devices (redox supercapacitors), electrocatalysis (fuel and biofuel cells), corrosion protection, photoelectrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry, molecular electronic effects.

Course description:

Modified electrodes: definition, types, preparation and methods of their characterization. Monolayer and multi-layered systems. Molecular electronic effects in electrochemistry of modified electrodes. Structure and reactivity of thin solid films on electrodes. Analytical applications of modified electrodes. Modern electroanalytical methods in solid-state electrochemistry. Electrochromic devices. Corrosion protection. Redox capacitors as high power charge storage devices. Electrocatalysis: mediation and specific processes. Development and characterization of electrocatalysts for low-temperature fuel cells. Biofuel cells. Immobilization, activation and application of enzymes as bioelectrocatalysts. Photo-sentized elechrochemical reactions. Photo-electrochemical cells. Photo-electrocatalysis.

Required background:

Basic knowledge of analytical chemistry including elements of inorganic and physical chemistry.

Form of assessment:
