Electrochemistry Applications Support
Analytical methods in modern science can provide rich information about molecules, solutions, and reactions. However, any single technique is inherently limited by the type of interaction it probes. To overcome these limitations, researchers increasingly rely on hyphenated techniques that combine complementary analytical approaches to observe complex systems in situ. One such technique is spectro-electrochemistry, which integrates electrochemical control with simultaneous spectroscopic measurement to deliver deeper insight into reaction mechanisms, kinetics, and transient species.
This webinar is structured as a two-part program, beginning with a fundamentals-focused presentation followed by real-world applications and case studies:
In the first presentation, Dr. Megan Lazorski, Associate Professor at Metropolitan State University of Denver, will provide a detailed overview of the fundamental principles governing spectro-electrochemistry. This session will cover the theoretical basis of the technique, experimental considerations, and key advances in the field. Historical and contemporary applications will be discussed, including electrode surface phenomena, reaction kinetics and mechanisms, adsorbates, and complex or fast electrocatalytic processes.
In the second presentation, Dr. Ritesh Vyas from BASi Research Products will focus on practical implementation and modern research applications. Using fully integrated spectro-electrochemistry configurations, this talk will highlight case studies spanning bioelectrochemistry, energy storage, electrocatalysis, environmental analysis (including dyes, pesticides, and pollutants), redox polymer systems, redox-active organic molecules in solution, and inorganic or organometallic complexes.
Together, these presentations will equip attendees with both a strong conceptual foundation and practical insight into how spectro-electrochemistry can be applied to contemporary research challenges.
