This compulsory session is intended to welcome new graduate students to the Department of Chemistry Library service.

The self-taught Moodle course will briefly cover how the physical library space can be used and, most importantly, give you practical information on how you can access the wide range of electronic resources available to you remotely. It will also cover the services available to you from other Cambridge libraries.

This course is intended to set you up so you can start to do your research as efficiently and effectively as possible.

This course will cover the quantitative background to underpin many of the electrochemical methods exploited by the research groups in the Department.

• The first part ('Foundations') will cover the background physical chemistry relevant for electrochemical systems: Following a reminder of the basics of electrochemistry, we address the physical chemistry of metals, ionic solutions and the electrode/solution interface, including electrode dynamics, and connection to experimental measurements.

• The second part ('Applications') will cover specific examples of applications drawn from active research groups in the department.
