Advanced Electroanalytical Chemistry
A.Y. 2020/2021
Learning objectives
The course aims to give a knowledge at advanced level of the electroanalytical techniques and their relevant applicative potentialities.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will learn principles, protocols and applications of the conductimetric, potentiometric, voltammetric and amperometric electroanalytical techniques and of the related sensors and biosensors.
Lesson period: First semester
Assessment methods: Esame
Assessment result: voto verbalizzato in trentesimi
Single course
This course cannot be attended as a single course. Please check our list of single courses to find the ones available for enrolment.

Teaching of the Course will be subjected to the health safety requirements for the containment of the Covid-19 epidemic, as required by the Ministerial indications and by the regulations of the Rectoral and/or Academic Senate, as well as by the indications of the Director of the Chemistry Department .
Therefore, if it will be not possible to deliver the lessons in person, video-lessons recorded by the teachers on the same program as the original course, will be made available to students, via the ARIEL website. Therefore no change in the contents of the Course will be made. To ensure contacts with students, live sessions will also be constantly organized (through TEAMS) during which students could ask questions and receive supplementary explanations on what is not clear. A Forum will also be made available (again via the ARIEL website) for discussions and insights.
The exam will be held as in the original program, i.e. orally, possibly via Skype, Teams or ZOOM, in case of inability of the student or teacher to be present in person.

Course syllabus
Experimental data treatment in quantitative electroanalytical chemistry with hints on Chemiometry. Advanced treatment of conductimetry, potentiometry and voltammetry. Electrochemical detectors for chromatography, ionic chromatography, capillary electrophoresis and hyphenated techniques. High sensitivity and low detection limits voltammetries (pulsed and stripping). Nanotechnologies and nanomaterials for electroanalysis. Advanced coulometry, chronoamperometry and amperometry. Transduction systems based on field effect transistors (FET). Electrochemical sensors and biosensors. Other advanced electroanalytical techniques: specroelectrochemistry; electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM); electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS); Scanning probe microscopies for the imaging of surfaces, particularly electroactive ones (Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy).
Applications to the characterization of inorganic and organic materials. Applications in the environmental, pharmaceutical, alimentary, industrial and quality control fields.
