Improving education in electrochemistry via a modeling approach and focusing on green chemistry applications

Chemistry is understood and practiced by research chemists by models and visualization. Electrochemistry is no exception. This study shows how a modeling approach focusing on green chemistry applications holds great potential in improving electrochemistry education. Green electrosynthesis, for instance, is ideally suited to understand electrochemical phenomena and to foster the student’s interest and learning in this cross-disciplinary field of chemical knowledge, reinforcing also laboratory education.
