Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices and Engineering

Graduate / Professional

The primary goal of this course is to introduce students to advanced energy storage devices and engineering. Through a combination of theoretical instruction, hands-on laboratory experiments, and practical demonstrations, a comprehensive picture of battery science and technology are illustrated, including electrochemistry basics, materials development, system designs and integration, fabrication, and manufacturing. Students learn skills such as how to measure impedance spectra and charge/discharge curves for different battery structures, and modify the battery materials/design accordingly to improve performance. By the end of the course, students are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the design, fabrication, and application of batteries in various fields. TTh 1:05pm-2:20pm
