Fundamentals of Electrochemical Energy Systems
ME59700
Credit Hours:
3Learning Objective:
The focus of the course will be on learning the fundamental concepts of energy storage and conversion with a goal to develop the ability for sound analysis. After finishing this course, the students should have the following learning outcomes.- Understand the fundamental physicochemical mechanisms and interactions that underlie in electrodes in an energy storage and conversion system (e.g. lithium-ion battery, polymer electrolyte fuel cell);
- Gain knowledge of thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport phenomena (species, charge and thermal) and mechanical behavior.
- Analyze system characteristics (performance, degradation, safety) based on the fundamental mechanisms.
