Advanced Methods in Electrochemistry
The Electrochemistry Network has developed a course on 'Advanced Methods in Electrochemistry'.
The course is delivered by academics from Imperial College London on a range of exciting and important topics. The course aims to:
-
Raise awareness of best practices in different fields of electrochemistry, covering common pitfalls and discussing how to avoid them;
-
Ensure students understand basic terminology and concepts in electrochemistry;
-
Teach up-to-date / ‘cutting edge’ concepts and techniques, going beyond information provided in textbooks;
-
Raise awareness of different techniques and knowhow available within different departments and research groups;
-
Inspire students with relevant case studies.
