Content A Interfacial electrochemistry
- The electrochemical interface, electrocehmical potential, capacitive and faradaic current densities.
- Models of the double layer.
- Specific adsorption.
- Thermodynamics of the interface.
- Influence of the double layer on the electrode kinetcis (with / without specific adorption).
B Electrocatalysis
- Electronic structure and electrocatalysis (relationship structure / composition / electrocatalytic activity)
- Example of multi-step reaction: Volmer-Heyrovsky-Tafel (H2 evolution).
- Physical techniques coupled to electrochemistry (FTIR, Raman, DEMS, etc.)
PrerequisitesBasics in electrochemistry.
Electrochemical kinetics.
Electrochemical methods.
