Dive into the science of chemical change powered by electrons. Electrochemistry explains how batteries store energy, why metals corrode, how reactions become spontaneous, and how electricity flows through chemical systems.
Why this series exists:
Curated from Prof. Chris Gwenin’s foundational materials and expanded for clarity, this 20-lecture series is designed for modular study, printable use, and legacy-driven teaching. Whether you’re revising for exams, building a resource archive, or simply curious about the chemistry of electricity, this series guides you step by step, from fundamental principles to real-world applications.
What you’ll explore:
- The basics of redox reactions and electron transfer
- Electrolysis, electrode reactions, and galvanic cells
- Diagramming cells, calculating EMF, and understanding electrode potentials
- Thermodynamics, spontaneity, and the electrochemical series
- Corrosion, batteries, fuel cells, and environmental sensing
Lecture Highlights:
- Lecture 1–3: Electrochemistry, redox, and electrolysis
- Lecture 4–10: Electrode reactions, cell construction, and EMF calculations
- Lecture 11–14: Gibbs free energy, spontaneity, and corrosion
- Lecture 15–20: Batteries, fuel cells, kinetics, concentration cells, instrumentation, and real-world applications
Who it’s for:
- Chemistry students preparing for exams or interviews
- Educators curating modular teaching resources
- Curious learners and legacy builders exploring the flow of electricity through chemical change
