    Workshop Description

    The first Cyclic Voltammetry Boot Camp that was started back in 2019 was a 2-day workshop designed to provide participants with the practical knowledge necessary to carry out robust cyclic voltammetry measurements in their independent research. The workshop includes both lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions.
