Introduction to Electrochemistry
The concepts a researcher must know before starting a measurement, even without any prior course in electrochemistry: cell, electrode, potential, current, equilibrium and kinetics.

Electrochemical Measurement Science Curriculum
A literature-based curriculum that starts from zero: 12 modules, 28 lessons, 43 peer-reviewed sources. Every lesson follows the same layout: textbook-level theory first, then application in measurement with the equations, then where the method applies and where it is limited, what the application notes concretely found and — only where the measurement depends directly on an instrument — the related instruments; with verifiable references (DOI) below.
How to use it
Start from Module 0 or go directly to the question you are looking for. "Related notes in the library" at the end of each lesson gives the practical steps, "References" the literature.
Verifiability
Every lesson rests on at least two peer-reviewed sources or standards; open-access sources are marked. The content was prepared by the Entek technical team and cross-checked against manufacturer documents.
From theory to measurement
The instruments named in the lessons are in the Entek and Bio-Logic portfolio; contact our technical team for hands-on training and demos.
1
Beginner
Potentiostat, Galvanostat and the Measurement Set-up
Data acquired without knowing how the instrument works and which errors the set-up produces is not reliable.
2
Beginner–Intermediate
Voltammetric and Chrono-techniques
From cyclic voltammetry to pulsed techniques, from chronoamperometry to rotating electrodes: the everyday tools of electrochemistry.
3
Intermediate
Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS)
The most searched electrochemistry topic: the principle of EIS, its representation, modelling and validation of data quality.
4
Intermediate–Advanced
Battery Testing and Characterisation
From cell types to test protocols, from ageing analysis to high-precision coulometry: the measurement backbone of battery research.
- Battery fundamentals: capacity, C-rate, Coulombic efficiency and cell types
- Charge/discharge protocols: CC-CV, GCPL, HPPC and duty cycles
- Thermodynamics and diffusion-coefficient determination with GITT and PITT
- EIS, dQ/dV and ageing mechanisms in batteries
- Solid-state batteries, module/pack measurement and flow batteries
5
Intermediate
Supercapacitors
Correct calculation of capacitance, ESR, energy and power density: the source of the most common errors in the literature.
6
Intermediate
Corrosion and Coating Evaluation
From corrosion rate to coating life: standards-compliant electrochemical corrosion measurements.
7
Intermediate–Advanced
Fuel Cells, Electrolysers and Hydrogen
From catalyst to stack: polarisation, EIS, ECSA and high-current measurements.
8
Intermediate
Materials Characterisation and Conductivity
Conductivity, dielectric and sheet-resistance measurement on ceramics, polymers, thin films and solid electrolytes.
9
Advanced
Scanning Probe Electrochemistry
Position-resolved information instead of an average: SECM, SKP, SVET, LEIS and SDS techniques.
10
Intermediate
Photovoltaics and Photoelectrochemistry
Electrochemical characterisation of solar cells: I–V, Mott-Schottky, EIS and IMVS.
11
Intermediate
Sensors, QCM and Spectroelectrochemistry
Electrochemical sensor development, the quartz crystal microbalance and simultaneous spectroscopy.
