The course deals with basic theory and application of electrochemistry. It focuses on students who use electrochemical methods in their research. The course begins with the general basics of electrochemistry. It then covers the theoretical fundamentals that form the basis of all the major electrochemical techniques and electroanalytical methods that are described in detail. The aim of the lecture is to acquire basic knowledge in order to enable students to understand, analyze and independently solve problems related to electrochemical processes.
