CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
Different type of electrochemical cells used for electrochemical energy conversion and storage applications are presented. These include, for excample, batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen electrolyzer. The students get acquainted with the operation of these cells and effect of the electrochemically active material properties on their performance. Assembly of electrochemical energy cells is practisized and electrochemical analysis methods used to characterize them are introduced.

The course is limited to max. 20 students. However, all studentes in the Energy Storage major are selected if enrolled in time. If there are less than 20 enrolled students in the Energy Storage major, students in the Chemistry, Functional Materials, and Advanced Energy Solutions major are prioritized. If there are less than 20 enrolled students in the above mentioned majors, other students meeting the prerequisites can be accepted to the course.
A course implementation may be cancelled if the number of students enrolled to the course implementation does not meet the required minimum of five students. In the case of cancelled course implementations, the students enrolled to them must be provided with an alternative way of completing the course or be advised to take some other applicable course.
