Abstract
This course focuses on energy storage devices like batteries and supercapacitors, and energy conversion systems. It provides a detailed introduction to core electrochemical processes and fundamental concepts, with an emphasis on real-world applications. The course aims to build a strong theoretical foundation and offer practical insights into electrochemical energy systems and technologies.
Objective
The goal of this course is for students to understand the fundamental principles and theories behind electrochemical processes, analyze current scientific literature, and explain real electrochemical data. Key objectives of this course are: 1. Explain the working principles of electrochemical energy storage systems. 2. Calculate the theoretical capabilities of energy storage systems. 3. Explain the discrepancies between theoretical and real-world performance of energy storage systems. 4. Understand and explain what information can be obtained from the analytical electrochemical methods. 5. Analyze and explain relevant seminal and modern research literature.
