Catalogue data
| Abstract | This course will discuss working principles of electrochemical energy systems, with focus on energy storage devices and touching on energy conversion systems. It will provide detailed introduction into the fundamentals of the related electrochemical processes and key electrochemical characterization methods. |
| Learning objective | The goal of this course is that students understand fundamental principles and theory behind electrochemical processes, analyse current scientific literature and explain real electrochemical data. Key objectives of this course are: 1. Explain working principle of electrochemical energy storage systems 2. Claculate theoretical capabilities of the energy storage systems 3. Explain discrepancies between theoretical and real-world performance of energy storage systems 4. Understand and explain principles of analytical electrochemical methods 5. Analyze and explain relevant seminal and modern research literature |
