Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

  • Batteries
  • Fuel cells
  • Electrolysers
  • Electrochemical solar cells

For each of these categories the following will be covered: operating principles, materials, design, properties and capabilities, applications and system aspects.

Intended learning outcomes

The overall aim of the course is to let the participants attain knowledge about operating principles, materials, design, applications and system aspects of electrochemical energy devices, within the categories batteries, fuel cells, electrolysers and electrochemical solar cells.

For a passing grade the students should be able to:

  • Describe the operating principle, figures of merit and characterization methods of electrochemical energy devices. (TENA, PRO1)
  • Explain how operating conditions, selection of materials and design affects the properties of the devices. (TENA, PRO1)
  • Discuss application areas and system aspects, make choices and evaluate technologies and be able to inform about the technology. (TENA, PRO1)
