Objectives

The course aims to provide an updated overview of the controlled-potential.electroanalytical techniques. Classical methods of electroanalysis and molecular electrochemistry methods will be discussed, and these topics will also be subject to optional laboratory activities, which will be accomplished only at the students' demand.

Contents

Electrochemical cells, polarization, ovepotential, iR drop, electrochemical devices, two- and three-electrodes circuitation, reversibility in electrodic processes, mass trasfer to the electrode. Cronoamperometry, polarography, voltammetry, stripping methods. Microelectrodes. Electrogravimetry, controlled-potential coulombometry, coulombometric titrations, amperometry and biamperometry. Applications of controlled potential methods.
