Electrochemistry with elements of electroanalysis 1200-2BLOK5W3
Within the lecture the rules of correct measurements in electrochemistry, types of working and reference electrodes, ways of changing potential and related to it consequences and electrochemical measurements under conditions of deficiency of supporting electrolyte and limited space of diffusion will be discussed. An accent will be given to modern electrochemical techniques, types of electrode reactions and electrochemical detection of substances that are electroinactive. The equations describing faradaic and capacitive current flowing under various conditions at electrodes will be presented and compared. Particular attention will be paid to the ways of performing electrochemical measurements with good repeatability and reproducibility. Seminal publications in electrochemistry and the contribution of Polish electrochemists to development of electrochemistry will be also discussed.
