120 credits in science/engineering including 30 credits in chemistry and/or chemical engineering. Either (1) Participation in both Introduction to Energy Storage and Materials Chemistry for Batteries; or (2) Materials Chemistry 10 credits, Electrochemistry 5 credits, and 5 credits at Master's level. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
This course focuses on the electrochemical skills required to obtain a deeper understanding of energy storage and conversion in modern batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. Initially, the focus lies on fundamental electrochemical concepts to discuss for example polarisation in batteries, followed by a section on basic and more advanced electrochemical analysis techniques for the evaluation of primary batteries. Finally, these skills are used to analyse present research examples from an electrochemical point of view.
