| Holder(s) : | Bernard Gilbert |
|
| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | - Electrode kinetics : general equation current-potential-time (1st order); exchange current density, Tafel law
- Steady state equilibria: polarography (reversible and irreversible reactions); voltamperometry on rotating electrodes (disc and ring-disc).
- Transitory Systems: chrono-amperometry, application to nucleation, cyclic voltamperometry, chronopotentiometry, pulsed methods,
- Applications and comparison of the respective merits of each method.
- Presentation of simulations of curves by computer data processing: application to the diagnosis of an electrochemical mechanism. |
|
| Course objective : | To present the fundamental concepts of electrochemistry which could not be developed during the previous years, in particular introduction of the importance of time. To deduce the basic equations and the application limits of the principal electrochemical methods. To learn how to propose a diagnosis on an electrochemical mechanism |
|
| Prerequisites : | Good knowledge of the basic concepts of electrochemistry presented in previous years |
|
| Organization : | Period: in principle, during the first semester
Duartion: 15 hours |
|
| Written notes : | - Partial notes of the course were written and are available. - They are accompanied by transparencies which: 1) constitute a structured summary of the presented materials; 2) since they are updated each year, they include certain recent analytical developments which are not proposed in the notes. - Data-processing simulation programs are also available. The students can obtain additional information, in particular in the book: Electrochemical Methods: Fundamentals and Applications by A.J.Bard and L.R.Faulkner, John Wiley & Sons, (2001) |
|
| Assessment : | The evaluation includes: a general examination in May-June (one hour of written preparation followed by an oral defense). |
