Introduction: historical background, electrochemistry as science, applications, materials science aspects
Electrochemical cells: electrodes, electrolytes, ions and solutions
Ion-solvent and ion-ion interactions, conduction of electrolytes, Interfacial region of
metal-electrolyte and semiconductor-electrolyte junctions
Thermodynamic properties and electrode potentials
Fundamentals of electrode reactions and kinetics, Mass transport to electrodes
Electrochemical and photoelectrochemical properties of semiconductors
Measurement methods and instrumentation for electrochemical studies
Applications: batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis, electrodeposition, metal finishing and
processing, semiconductor micromachining, sensorsm corrosion prevention Exercises: Instead of weekly exercise classes, small groups will work on a specific topic, write a report and present it to the
class.
