    Workshop Description

    The University of Houston Electrochemistry workshop is a 3 day electrochemistry workshop the teaches students the fundamentals and advanced topics around cyclic voltammetry.  Students perform and analyze cyclic voltammetry data of Tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ).  TCNQ will also be used for a special UV/Vis spectroelectrochemistry experiment on the last day of the workshop.
