Basics on Electrochemistry, Phase Boundaries and Cell Potentials
Prof. Roman Gruden
Leader of Industrial Automation, Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg Stuttgart, Germany
Impedance spectroscopy is a powerful method to analyze liquids qualitatively and quantitatively by use of chemical sensors. Basics on electrochemistry are the fundament to understand the processes of chemical sensor elements and to use them for specific application.
This tutorial shows the major basics on electrochemistry to understand the processes of phase boundaries and the formation of the cell potential in chemical sensors. Furthermore the modelling of the electrochemical processes of the phase boundaries will be explained. These models are used to create an equivalent circuit and build the bridge between electrochemistry and electrical circuit technology.
Short biography:
Roman Gruden is professor for industrial automation since 2015 at DHBW Stuttgart, Germany.
He graduated in electrical engineering at the University of Applied Science Karlsruhe in 1995,
where he specialized in the field of telecommunication engineering. Furthermore he graduated
in industrial engineering and management at the University of Applied Science in Pforzheim in
2001 and made his Master of Science at the University in Karlsruhe in 2009 where he
specialized in sensor technology. He made his PhD in Impedance Spectroscopy at Chemnitz
University of Technology in cooperation with Seuffer GmbH & Co. KG in Hirsau/Calw.
Roman Gruden worked three years as development engineer in Johannesburg (South Africa) in a telecommunication
project and planed parts of the GMS network in Germany at Mannesmann Mobilfunk. He was seven years project leader
and product manager at Alcatel in Germany for optical networks and mobile communication. Furthermore he made four
years studies on chemical sensors in the research department at Seuffer Company in Hirsau/Calw. He is author or coauthor of 15 papers and 13 patents and petty patents.
