Learning outcomes

Electrochemical of Batteries extend the knowledge-based understanding of batteries from the bachelor’s level courses to a more fundamental understanding of underlying processes in electrochemical devices. This is essential to follow and interpret the parallel running course on Battery Simulation and the subsequent practical simulation course. After course completion, the students will understand the details of ionic transport and potentials in electrochemical devices. They can calculate the properties of electrolyte systems and know how their properties limit practically the operation of batteries or other electrochemical storage devices. Due to practical examples in the exercises, the students can apply their knowledge when characterizing battery components electrochemically. Participants are expected to have a solid understanding of mathematical calculus.
