KE2300 Electrochemical Energy Devices 7.5 credits
This course has been discontinued.
Last planned examination: Autumn 2024
Decision to discontinue this course:
The course will be discontinued at the end of Autumn 2022 according to school head decision: C-2022-2158.

Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
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)
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
Bachelor of science in chemical engineering, chemistry, engineering physics, mechanical engineering, energy, materials, or equivalent.
Literature
You can find information about course literature either in the course memo for the course offering or in the course room in Canvas.
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
Examination
- PRO1 - Project, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
