Annotation -

The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basic theoretical principles of electrochemical techniques. The course is divided into three parts. The first part deals with electron transport in electrochemical systems, the second part is focused on electrochemical equilibria and the third deals with the kinetics of electrochemical reactions. The basic knowledge of electrostatics and thermodynamics are expected.
