ECS will be offering five short courses at the 229th ECS Meeting this year in San Diego.
What are short courses? Taught by academic and industry experts in intimate learning settings, short courses offer students and professionals alike the opportunity to greatly expand their knowledge and technical expertise.
Short Course #4: Hydrodynamic Electrochemistry Using Rotating Electrodes
Li Sun, Instructor
This course is intended for scientists and engineers who are interested in using rotating electrodes in their projects. Examples of application include fuel cell catalyst screening, corrosion inhibitor testing, and electroplating. After a brief introduction of basic concepts of electrochemistry, major kinetic processes at electrode surface are described. Emphasis is given to mass transport phenomena in fluid dynamics. These theoretical discussions are designed to help attendees appreciate the simplicity and the wide reach of rotating electrode techniques. A significant portion of the course will be allocated for a hands-on demonstration when a real experiment is performed. Specific and practical knowledge, often taken for granted by experts, will be disseminated so that a researcher new to this area can get started quickly.
