Electrodes of a potentiostat
This section gives a short overview of the three types of electrodes (working, reference, counter electrode) you will encounter while using a potentiostat. It is explained how these electrodes look like and what their task is. While the potentiostat is the heart of an electrochemical experiment, modern potentiostats need little effort to set up and …

Origins of electrochemical potentials
This section is a short explanation of the processes that lead to electrochemical potential and thus to corrosion processes. Most readers will have a rough idea of electrochemical potentials, noble and non-noble metals. However, a small recap of this knowledge seems suitable to understand the processes happening at the electrodes or corroding metals better. If …
