Basic electrochemical concepts, potentials and currents, DC techniques (OCP, LPR, Tafel Polarization, PD, CPD and CV), EIS, Mott-Schottky plot.

The course includes introduction lectures, lab practice with instruments and software, and seminars by the PhD students who have used the techniques, and thorough discussions of different techniques by the students.

Intended learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course, the student should have sufficient knowledge to use common electrochemical techniques for corrosion research and able to interpret the results correctly.

Literature and preparations

Specific prerequisites

Basic electrochemistry, some experience with the techniques.

Literature

You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.

Examination and completion

Grading scale
