Applied electrochemistry 0600-S1-W-AE
Lecture:
During the course of lectures students will be introduced to selected topics of electrochemistry. There will be discussed basics of electronic conduction in condensed matter. conducting polymers and their application will be described to picturize the recent application of applied electrochemistry of new materials. The topics related to electrochemical corrosion of metals are introduced to give an insight to the application of conducting polymers as anti-corrosion protection agents and explain the specific properties of conducting polymers.
Further discussion will be directed to chemical sources of electricity as environmentally friendly power generation methods. The thermodynamic characterization and general classification of galvanic cells will be provided. The lecture will also cover the application of conducting polymers in chemical sources of current..
