(in Polish) Zaawansowana elektroanaliza w teorii i praktyce 1200-2BLOK3-WYK1
The tasks carried out are:
Selecting the electroanalytical method appropriate for the purpose of the analysis, taking into account the concentration, type of the analyzed substance and the presence of other compounds. Conditions for choosing cyclic voltammetry, pulse methods, chronocoulometry, chronoamperometry, alternating current methods and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Understanding the properties of microelectrodes, rotating and chemically modified electrodes and their selection depending on the analytical problem to be solved.
Demonstrating the relationship between the form of an element in the environment and its toxic properties, as well as the influence of the element's form on mobility and bioavailability. Presentation of the possibilities of using electrochemical methods to determine traces, concentrate them and distinguish individual chemical forms of elements. The role of electroanalysis in modern environmental monitoring.
Learning the methods of electrochemical determination of selected pharmaceuticals and compounds of medicinal importance, depending on their structure, type of electroactive group and electrode process. Selection of optimal conditions for the determination of a specific drug, appropriate working electrode, pH and supporting electrolyte. Possibilities of using adsorption to pre-concentrate the drug on the electrode.
Modified electrodes and electroactivity of redox centers located near the electrode. Preparation by irreversible adsorption, covalent attachment of monolayers or covering the electrode with layers of polymers or other materials. Electrocatalytic processes for reactions important in energy conversion, such as oxygen reduction, hydrogen generation, or methanol oxidation. Systems capable of accumulating charge, including (super)capacitors and high-power batteries. Electrocatalytic conversion (carbon dioxide reduction) and electrosynthesis (nitrogen reduction to ammonia) processes. Electrochemical display technology based on layers that can change color (electrochromism) or emit light. Metal protection against corrosion or chemical attack. Highly specific electroanalytical sensors. Molecular electronic devices, i.e., electrochemical systems that can mimic the behavior of diodes and transistors. Microelectrodes and microelectrode arrays. Analytical and diagnostic applications in kinetics of electrode processes. Mechanistic studies.
