Course will focus on emerging battery technologies, such as sodium-ion batteries, solid-state batteries, in green transition. Sustainability of emerging battery materials is also studied.
Course contents
Overview of emerging battery technologies, cobalt-free lithium-ion batteries, sodium ion and other alkali metal-ion batteries, lithium metal batteries, lithium-sulfur and lithium-air batteries, solid state batteries, redox flow batteries, sustainability of emerging batteries and biomass-use in batteries.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will
- have the basic knowledge of the emerging battery materials and structures
- understand the operation principle of these batteries
- know how to improve the battery sustainability and especially battery development from green chemistry viewpoint.
