Modern analytical instrumentation and its applications and limitations are discussed. This unit looks at the structure of the metal–electrolyte interface and semiconductor–electrolyte interface; energy levels in metals, semiconductors and electrolytes and the transfer of charge between them; the Butler-Volmer and Tafel equations and a general consideration of electrochemical kinetics; application to corrosion chemistry; cyclic voltametry and other modern electrochemical techniques; and applications to qualitative and quantitative analysis. Also studied are the theory and techniques of molecular spectroscopy: description and theory of electronic, vibrational, Raman, rotational and... -- Course Website
