Physical Chemistry

The Laboratory of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry (FyKe) is the only research unit in Finland specialising in electrochemistry. Our research activities are intended to build on the fundamental knowledge held by our senior researchers, to enlarge this through basic research in the above fields and to apply this knowledge for the solution of problems of technological interest.

Research at the laboratory is naturally connected to postgraduate education. Almost all postgraduates in physical chemistry work full time in the laboratory during their studies. This ensures close supervision and effective interaction between senior researchers and postgraduates at different stages of their work. The main research topics are:

• Innovative Fuel Cell System for Applications in Small Electronics
• Novel Electrode Materials for Lithium Ion Batteries
• Electrochemistry in ionic liquids
• Surfactant aggregates in solution and at liquid solid interfaces
• Iontophoretic transdermal drug delivery
• Novel Materials via Self-assembly
• Cell assay and pharmacokinetic model of blood brain barrier for drug discovery and development (COMBO)
• Molecular Fuel Cell Utilizing a Liquid-Liquid Interface
• Electrochemical oxidation of organic molecules in an alkaline membrane fuel cell
• Electrochemical phase inversion of emulsions
• Starting
• Elemet
