General Electrochemistry
Winter term
Taught by Juan Manuel Paz García
The content of this course includes an introduction to electrochemistry along with the different models of current distributions, specific studies and interfaces and applications.
After a brief general introduction to electrochemistry and electrochemical reactions, the physical interfaces corresponding to primary, secondary and tertiary current distributions are listed and described in detail. The latter will be discussed also considering the different cases of electroneutrality, water-based and with supporting electrolytes.
We then describe some physical interfaces and studies that serve to model more specific electrochemical analyses and phenomena, such as electroanalysis, cyclic voltammetry and electrophoretic transport.
Finally, we model different electrochemical systems and phenomena using the tools studied in the course, such as electrolysis, electrodialysis, electrochemical sensors, wastewater treatment, seawater desalination, bioelectrochemistry, etc.
