This course offers a comprehensive introduction to electrochemical energy storage technologies, providing students with both foundational knowledge and practical insights into systems such as batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. Designed for students in Materials Science and Engineering and related disciplines, it covers electrochemical principles, materials selection, and system-level design essential to modern energy storage.

Topics include thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport processes, along with the structure and function of device components like anodes, cathodes, and electrolytes. Students will explore both established technologies—such as lithium-ion batteries—and emerging systems including sodium-ion, solid-state, and lithium-sulfur batteries. Additional topics include supercapacitors, flow batteries, hydrogen fuel cells, and their role in renewable energy integration.

Through lectures, case studies, and projects, students will engage with innovations in materials science and sustainability for system optimization. The course also examines environmental impacts, recycling, and future challenges. Graduates will be prepared for roles in clean energy and sustainable technologies.
