CHE 56000 - Introduction To Energy Storage Systems


Credit Hours: 3.00.  Energy Storage Systems Laboratory course is designed to introduce fundamentals of electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering of rechargeable lithium ion batteries (LIBs) to undergraduate and graduate students. The course will be reviewing working principles of LIBs, hands-on experience on their assembly, charge-discharge testing, data analysis and related safety aspects. Strong emphasis will be given on the Li-ion battery technology, nanotechnology implementation and the materials design. Beyond conventional Li-ion systems and Pb-acid batteries, next generation Na-ion, K-ion and Li-S batteries will be discussed and designed. Students will be fabricating and testing high energy density batteries utilizing engineered electrodes, electrolytes and separators. Broader perspectives on sustainable, cost effective, longer lasting battery manufacturing will be provided.  Credits: 3.00
