Course content

Theoretical course :

1st PART : Electroanalytical methods

Electrolyte solutions ; Debye-Huckel theory ; Structure of electrolyte solutions and solvation ; Mass transport in electrolyte solutions ; Conductivity of electrolyte solutions ; Conductimetry, Voltammetry

2nd PART : Spectrochemical methods : surface analysis and elemental analysis

Introduction to surface analysis ; Electron spectroscopies : X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) - Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES) ; Microscopies : electron microscopies (SEM, TEM) and scanning probe microscopies.

Methods for elemental analysis : X-Ray atomic spectroscopies – X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF)

Practical work :

Instrumental analysis – atomic absorption and emission experiments, electrophoresis, gas chromatography and HPLC. Ion selective electrodes, conductimetry and voltammetry.

Objectives (and/or specific learning outcomes)

Course with the objective of completing the competences on analytical chemistry acquired during BA2.

Objectif of the practical work : Familiarize students with instrumental analysis methods. Evaluate the capabilities and the limits of each method by carrying out dedicated experiments.
