Characterization Techniques for Battery Research and Development and Manufacturing

3 credits

Explores a wide range of characterization techniques for both battery research and development as well as quality control in large-scale manufacturing. Examines how requirements and optimization goals differ across various applications and different stages of product development, from laboratory-scale research to pilot scale and industrial production. Prerequisite: either fundamental knowledge of lithium-ion battery systems, or completion of an introductory course in battery science and engineering (e.g., electrochemistry, cell components, performance metrics).
