Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion

Catalog description

Electrochemical concepts relevant to real-world devices. Discusses basic electrochemical principles with an emphasis on solid-state electrochemistry and the nature of the solid-electrolyte interface in order to give students the background knowledge needed for understanding and analyzing real device performance of, e.g., batteries, solar hydrogen generation, photoelectrochemical cells, electrocatalysts, electrochemical capacitors, fuel cells. Critically evaluates media reports and journal publications describing electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices.
