Inhalt:
The module advanced electrochemistry provides a fundamental insight into
electrochemical systems and discuss advanced electrochemical methods. Based on this knowledge,
students will be able to understand electrochemical problems, suggest methods to solve them and
understand the background of many practical electrochemical systems and applications, required for the
understanding of electrochemical reactor technology. They will also get an insight into the fundamental
research problems of modern electrochemistry.
Practical electrochemical systems will be discussed that are either already of great
economic importance or will become crucial in future applications. Students
will gain knowledge on the most relevant applied electrochemical research topics, will have a clear view
on the versatility of electrochemical devices and have an understanding of electrochemistry based
energy systems and their potential. Several technologies of importance in energy conversion systems
and the production of added-value chemicals like electrolysers, fuel cells, flow batteries,
supercapacitors, chloralkali process, organic electrosynthesis, aluminum production, but also corrosion,
metal deposition, ectroanalysis, electrochemical sensors, lithography galvoforming, semiconductors,
information storage, bioelectrochemistry, photoelectrochemistry, conducting polymers, will be
discussed.
Students will solve electrochemical problems either theoretically with various
modelling approaches and/or practically with simple methods. This includes for instance the
developments of small numerical programs that support the analysis and understanding of
electrochemical reactions, their thermodynamics, kinetics and mass transport effects. This part of the module is aiding in hands-on experience on electrochemical fundamentals in
addition to the deep theoretical treatment in their text-book studies. Setup of the module
introduction (scope and role of electrochemistry, short history), electrochemical potentials,
Nernst-equation, electrodes, conductance, transference number, mobility, solvation of ions, the
Born-equation, Debye-Hückel theory, junction potentials, ion selective electrodes (concept of
pH, the glass electrode, other ion selective electrodes), transport phenomena, electrifiedinterfaces: double layer theories, adsorption (adsorption isotherms), surface excesses,
electrocapillary equation, electrokinetic properties
Tafel-equation, Butler-Volmer equation, theories of electron transfer, transition state theory,
introduction to electrocatalysis (single crystals), rate-coverage relations
electrochemical cells/reactors, electrochemical instrumentation, potential step methods, potential
sweep methods, galvanostatic methods, stripping analysis, hydrodynamic methods (RDE,
RRDE), impedance (1 lecture), scanning techniques (electrochemical STM, SECM, SFC, AFM
…), electrochemistry coupled with spectroscopic techniques (in situ spectroelectrochemical
techniques: UV-VIS, IR, X-ray, Raman etc), mass spectrometry, EQCM etc; intro to the second
semester courses
