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

    Registration:

    The course is limited to max. 20 students. However, all students 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 and Materials Science, 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.
