Mikrokalorimetrische Untersuchungen elektrochemisch induzierter Adsorptions- und Abscheidungsprozesse von Ionen, Komplexen und Amphiphilen

Entropic effects upon electrochemical reactions can be determined via electrochemical microcalorimetry, which is based on the measurement of the reversibly exchanged heat. This method was applied to study metal deposition reactions, particularly regarding their deposition mechanisms. Furthermore, the entropy of adsorption of an amphiphilic molecule was studied, and the entropy change a water molecule experiences upon entering a polyelectrolyte multilayer was determined.
