Contact Jean-Pierre PETIT
Content(s)
Lecture : principles and applications of the voltammetry, step methods and impedance spectroscopy.
PS : apply the fundamental principles on typical examples from the literature.
- Choice of the electrochemical cell (volume, type of working electrode, counter-electrode, geometry of the cell; 2 or 3 electrode cell). Electroactivity domain, ohmic drop, mass transport conditions.
- Voltammetry: impact of the potential sweep rate, the size of the working electrode, the convection (natural and unforced)...
- Impedance spectroscopy : stationarity, linearity ?
- Practical applications of various techniques to study the same electrochemical system.
