Guest access
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After the course the student will be able to

  • name the most common electrochemical cells used for electrochemical energy conversion and storage
  • know typical applcatons for the above-mentioned cells
  • konw how electrochemically active materials function during electrochemical energy conversion and storage reactions
  • apply electrochemical theories for understanding the behavior of the cells used for electrochemcial energy conversion and storage 
  • apply electrochemical analysis methods for investigation of electrochemcial energy conversion and storage cells
