| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course serves the fundamentals related to solution chemistry of electrolytes and electrode reactions, which become the basis of wet processing such as electrolytic refining, electrowinning, corrosion, anticorrosion, and functional electrodeposition. | |||
| Course Goals | In this course students learn basic technical terms and basic concepts of physical chemistry, which are necessary to study materials science and engineering from the viewpoints of solution chemistry and electrochemistry, to take subsequent advanced courses on materials science and engineering. | |||
| Schedule and Contents |
Overview 1 time Solution chemistry of electrolytes, 2 times, acid-base reactions, redox reactions, equilibrium of them. Introduction of electrode potential and its relation to chemical thermodynamics, 4 times, explanation of electrode surface as an interface for exchange the carrier, explanation of the concept of electrode potential and Nernst's equation. Electrolysis, 1 time, explanation on the importance of three electrode setup (working, counter and reference electrodes). Electrode reactions, 4 times, explanation on the fundamentals of electrochemical reaction rate on a electrode surface toward understanding of batteries and corrosion, explanation on the relation between current and potential, overpotential, diffusion-limitation of reactants. Transfer of ions, 2 times, explanation on the transfer of ions in solution for understanding diffusion potential and liquid junction potential. Summary, 1 time. |
