Official Course Description
The two courses Electrochemistry for Energy Applications treat the fundamentals of electrochemistry as well as different electrochemical devices important for todays and tomorrows energy economy (fuel cells, batteries, photo-electrochemical electrolysis- and solar cells). The lectures introduce the working principle of the devices, their components and materials, as well as their application and future potential for the energy economy. A mayor focus is the correlation of electronic and ionic properties of the functional materials with their performance in the device.
The first course in the summer term treats the fundamentals of electrochemistry as required to follow the second course in the winter term, which focusses on the applications (treatment of material, components and system issues).
Electrochemistry for Energy Applications I: Fundamentals
Contents
Introduction converter and storage devices in the energy economy
Thermo- and electrochemical concepts: (electro-) chemical equilibrium, double layer
Equilibrium electrochemistry: electrode potential, types of electrodes, cells
Electrochemical dynamics: kinetics of electrode reactions, ion conduction
Electrochemical analysis: voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, etc.
Solid state electrochemistry: redox-reactions, defect chemistry, ion conduction and -transfer
Semiconductor electrochemistry: (multi) electron transfer, space charge layer, electron energy levels
Photo-electrochemistry: quasi Fermi level, surface reactions
