Electrochemical Engineering: Devices for Energy Conversion and Storage
Covers electrochemical fundamentals and experiments on energy devices like Li-ion batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysis cells, including fabrication and characterization.
Summary
Lectures are small, with a median of 16 enrolled students in the recorded sections.
What you’ll be able to do
Utilize key concepts of electrochemistry, apply basic electrochemical methods to characterize and quantitatively analyze the performance of electrochemical devices.
Apply thermodynamic, electrokinetic, and mass transport governing equations to energy conversion and storage devices.
Apply sustainability and techno-economic principles to numerically compare multiple electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies.
Verbally communicate, illustrate, and summarize in writing the theoretical fundamental phenomena of electrochemical devices.
Build, perform, troubleshoot electroanalytical experiments with a three-electrode cell, and measure electrochemical properties to assess performance in batteries, fuel cells, and electrolyzers.
Assess safety measures in an electrochemical laboratory environment by building standard operating procedures (SOPs), reading safety data sheets (SDS) of chemicals, and selecting appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Quantitatively discuss phenomena, theories, and empirical data from the peer-reviewed literature via comparison with original physical models and experimental data. Critically compare results obtained in the laboratory and effectively communicate findings with oral presentations, videos, illustrations, and text.
