This course is aimed at junior/senior undergraduate and graduate students interested on developing an understanding on the Materials Science of Rechargeable Batteries. The focus is on electrochemical materials, its non-idealities (e.g., transport limitations, failure mechanisms), and its application to energy storage devices, such as batteries and fuel cells, particularly for portable electronics and hybrid/electric vehicles. This course will deliver an introduction to basic electrochemistry, principles of electrochemical devices, and electroactive materials as used in such systems. Current trends and directions in the field of battery technology will be outlined. Permission of department required.
