Content(s)

A - Ionic conductors

  • AI - Liquids and solids. Macroscopic parameters: diffusion cœfficients, etc.
  • AII - Electrolytic solutions: are all solvent relevant for electrochemistry? Conduction mechanism in diluted solutions.
  • AIII - Polymer electrolyte and metted salts (ionic liquids): nature of the charge carriers? Conduction mechanisms.
  • AIV - Ionic solids: nature of the charge carriers? Intrinsic and extrinsic defects. Conduction mechanisms: Arrhenius, grain boundary.

B - Other conducting materials

  • BI - Metals and semi-conductors : Fermi level and electrochemistry. Electrochemistry on semi-conductors vs. electrochemistry on metals
  • BII - Introduction on mixed conductors. Example: insertion materials.
