The Thermodynamics of Insertion Electrochemical Electrodes—A Team Play of Electrons and Ions across Two Separate Interfaces

Benefits of electrochemistry studies for the majority of students who will not become electrochemists

In teaching electrochemistry, it is of primary importance to make students always aware of the relations between electrochemistry and all the non-electrochemical topics, which are taught. The vast majority of students will not specialise in electrochemistry, but they all can very much benefit from the basics and concepts of electrochemistry. This paper is aimed to give suggestions how the teaching of electrochemistry can easily be interrelated to topics of inorganic, organic, analytical, environmental chemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology.
