Goal(s)

The first part of the course details the essential notions of electrochemical thermodynamics, enabling to describe the operation of a complete electrochemical system.
The second part of the course describes the main electrochemical mechanisms, including their elemenary steps of reaction and essential methods to characetrize them. The final objective is to become capable to design microkinetics models of electrochemical reactions.
