Applied electrochemistry

Several metal oxides are of potential interest in diverse applications based on electrochemical processes or charge transport, e.g. as electrode materials in batteries, novel types of solar cells (e.g. TiO2, ZnO), electrochromic materials (WO3, etc.). It is expected that such physico-chemical properties are enhanced/improved if the metal oxide is prepared in the form of nanoparticles or nanopores, in particular as thin homogeneous films. Electrochemical methods (cyclovoltammetry, etc.) are used to understand the influence of nanostructuration on these properties.
