MODULE CH5715 : Energy Conversion and Storage

Lecturers:
Dr A. R. Armstrong, Dr R. T. Baker* and Dr J. L. Payne

(*Module Convenor)

Aims:
The aim of the course is to familiarise students with electrochemical processes occurring in the solid state. The basic mechanisms and principles of ionic conduction in solids and the electrochemical processes occurring at the interfaces of solid-state electrochemical systems will be discussed. The course will cover important technologies in energy conversion and storage in detail, including lithium ion batteries and fuel cells. Operating principles, materials requirements, advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. The course will be given in three parts: 1. Fundamental Electrochemistry (JLP); 2. Fuel Cell Technology (RTB) and 3. Energy Storage and Batteries (ARA).

  •   Energy Conversion and Storage Fuel Cell Technology (ARA & RTB) and Fundamental Electrochemistry (JLP)
