Learning outcomes
|
This course explains to students how to influence the progress of chemical reactions by the action of light, in which materials this principle is used, and by what physicochemical methods the given systems can be studied. Furthermore, the course describes the electrochemical reactions, electrode processes and explains selected electroanalytical methods.
Acquire knowledge of the basic principles of photochemistry, distinguish between different types of photochemical reactions, and an overview of their use in photochemical imaging and light-sensitive materials. Furthermore, to gain advanced knowledge of electrochemistry and electroanalytical methods, especially cyclic voltammetry.
