This course will focus on the chemistry of materials that underlie modern electrochemical energy conversion and storage technologies.
Fundamental concepts underlying electrochemical systems (thermodynamics, kinetics, and mass transport) will be introduced. Application of these fundamental concepts to real-world electrochemical systems will be explored through examination of experimental techniques such as potentionmetry, cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Modern technologies for electrochemical energy conversion and storage will be compared and contrasted through a series of case-studies, with a special focus on the chemical properties and design of electrode materials.
