On this course, students can acquire an in-depth understanding of basic electrochemical subjects and application case studies.
Electrochemistry learned at the undergraduate level will be reviewed during the first half of the course to ensure that students
have a firm grasp of basic electrochemical knowledge. This is useful for the students who learn electrochemistry for the
first time. A further in-depth investigation of various batteries with a focus on polymer electrolyte fuel cells and Li-ion
cells, bioelectrochemistry focusing on biosensors and biofuelcells based on various types of oxidoreductases, photoelectrochemistry
which is important to understand photocatalytic phenomena and the mechanisms and properties of solar cells will be conducted
in the remaining part of the course.
Rather than conducting a course in which the instructor simply lectures to students, proactive student participation will be promoted through two-way discussion i.e. lecturing in turn.

To acquire an in-depth understanding of basic electrochemical subjects and application case studies
- Acquire an understanding of electrochemical subjects and application case studies
- Acquire an understanding of practical batteries, fuel cells, biosensors, biofuel cells, photocatalyst, and solar cells
- Consider relationships between the electrochemical subjects learned in the lecture and their graduate studies, especially for Students who use electrochemical measurements and knowledge in their graduate studies
