Description
You are a professional, a student, a teacher or just interested in general in the principles of Li-ion Batteries? Then this is the right course for you!
In this course, we will cover various concepts, reactions and applications of Lithium-Ion Batteries. For this purpose we will start at the very beginning, picking you up and introducing into some fundamental concepts of energy storage and electrochemistry. During the course we will work our way forward to cover the Chemistry, Physics, Engineering and Economics of the technology.
The concept of this course is not to only give textbook explanations to things and to explain models. Instead it aims at using your knowledge to understand the bigger picture and apply the knowledge you gained by looking at real life applications.

The curriculum of this course will allow you a step-by-step introduction by covering the following topics:

Basics of Energy Storage - To grasp the wide-ranging impact of energy storage technologies, we will have a look into different types, application areas and global players.
Electrochemistry - As the foundation to understand the following chapters and the battery technology, we will cover a few simply basics of electrochemistry to get you started.
Setup and Performance - You will learn about the essential parts of any (Li-ion) battery and how their performance is affected e.g. by temperature, charging speed and many more.
Cell Components - Each component and material of a Li-ion battery will be discussed in detail with requirements, advantages, disadvantages and current research trends. You will understand how a cell can be tailored to individual applications.
Cell Manufacturing - We will cover the steps involved in battery manufacturing, cover typical cell types and safety aspects.
Economics of Battery Storage - You will learn about the battery development roadmap, material cost, demand, supply chain risk and future trends.
Finishing this course, you will be able to talk about the operational principle of Li-ion Batteries, employed materials, performance parameters, safety, cell manufacturing, economic aspects and many more things which help you to excel in your work and studies!
