Materials Science Aspects of Rechareable Batteries (MS658)
Solid State Electrochemical for Energy Storage and Conversion
Limitations in accessible fossil fuels and increases in world population have lead to large increases in the cost of fossil fuels. In addition, worldwide concern about the environmental consequences of fossil fuel combustion has increasingly grown, demanding economic and efficient energy systems. Electrochemical means of converting and storing energy have great promise as alternative energy options for transportation and stationary applications due to their superior efficiencies. In this class, students will learn fundamental concepts and tools of electrochemistry based on materials science and further focus on the understanding of the operation mechanism and the material requirements of various advanced electrochemical devices, including batteries, fuel cells and electrochemical capacitors.
