    Workshop Description

    The Electrocatalysis Workshop is a 3-day short course at Rutgers University – New Brunswick that will combine exciting lectures and laboratory sessions to give our participants strong foundational training in electrochemistry techniques for the study of homogeneous electrocatalysts.

    This workshop is designed to introduce participants to both theoretical and practical aspects of electrochemistry. In addition to covering fundamental concepts, our emphasis will be on the electrochemical analysis of homogeneous molecular species and catalysts using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and controlled-potential electrolysis (CPE). We welcome applicants from all levels – undergraduate students, graduate students, postdocs, and faculty are encouraged to apply. No prior experience with electrochemistry is needed to participate in this workshop.

    The inaugural Electrocatalysis Workshop will be held on July 29-31, 2024 at Rutgers University – New Brunswick. Both lecture and laboratory activities take place at the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology on Busch Campus in Piscataway, NJ.
