The Electrochemistry Laboratory studies the chemical reactions that occur at the interface of an electrical conductor, as well as the changes associated with the passage of electric current through it, involving electron transfer or oxidation-reduction (RedOx) reactions.
The laboratory is part of the Innovation in Materials and Molecular Engineering for Regenerative Therapies (IMEM-BRT) group. Its activities benefit from a wide range of electrochemical tests to develop and study materials with electrochemical properties applied to various fields. These materials include conducting polymers, which can be synthesized electrochemically and, at the same time, used as components in supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells, electrochemical sensors, controlled drug release systems, actuators, electroactive platforms in tissue engineering, and more.
These and other applications are evaluated using electrochemical techniques such as Galvanostatic Charge-Discharge (GCD), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Differential Pulse Voltammetry (DPV), Chronoamperometry (CA), or Chronopotentiometry (CP). Additionally, it is possible to evaluate the resistivity of a material using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and its interactions with other bioactive molecules (proteins, peptides, DNA, etc.). Furthermore, controlled drug release and electrical stimulation of cells can be monitored through electrochemical tools.
They have the infrastructure of the Barcelona Research Center in Multiscale Science and Engineering (BRCMSE) at UPC, which is a María de Maeztu Center of Excellence at UPC, as an affiliated group.
