529-0507-00L	Hands-on Electrochemistry for Energy Storage and Conversion Applications Additional Information: Previous attendance to one of the two electrochemistry-related courses available at ETHZ (Electrochemistry by Prof. P. Novak, or Physical Electrochemistry and Electrocatalysis by Prof. T.J. Schmidt) is mandatory.	6 credits	6G	L. Gubler, E. Fabbri, J. Herranz Salañer, C. Villevieille
Abstract	The course will provide the students with hands-on laboratory experience in the field of electrochemistry, specifically within the context of energy related applications (i.e., Li-ion and redox flow batteries, fuel cells and electrolyzers).
Learning objective	Solidify the students’ theoretical knowledge of electrochemistry; apply these concepts in the context of energy-related applications; get the students acquainted with different electrochemical techniques, as well as with application-relevant materials and preparation methods.
Content	Days 1 & 2: Introduction to basic electrochemical processes Days 3 - 8: 3 x 2-day blocks of laboratory work (rotating assignments): - Lithium-ion batteries - Redox flow batteries - Polymer electrolyte fuel cells Days 9 & 10: preparation and completion of the course’s report and oral presentation (for evaluation)
Lecture notes	The course’s script will be prepared and provided by the lecturers.
Literature	References to academic publications of specific relevance to the experiments to be performed will be included within the courses’ script
