Objectives

The need to free modern society from fossil energy is now evident and a rapid transition to alternative energy sources is taking place. In this course we will introduce the basic principles of operation of the current most appelative energy storage devices. Among others, the physical principles of the operation of super capacitors, fuel cells and batteries will be analyzed, with a deeper study of batteries as the main course topic. Among the most appealing energy storage solutions of the last five years are solid state batteries, on which the experimental component of this course will focus.

 

Learning outcomes and competences

Students who complete this course should: 1) Have acquired knowledge of the basic physical operating principles of some of the most important energy storage devices, their limitations and possible solutions. 2) Understand the physical principles of operation of a solid state battery and in particular of a ferroelectric glass solid state electrolyte. 3) Have acquired experimental experience on the assembly of different cell architectures with a solid state electrolyte and on the analysis of their electrochemical properties, with different diagnostic techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.

Eligibility for exams

In order to obtain the frequency, students must have completed the proposed assignments that constitute the distributed evaluation component.

 



Students who have already obtained attendance in previous years will be able to choose to carry out the work and examination, or alternatively only by final exam, which will correspond to their final classification.


Calculation formula of final grade

FC=OE 

FC - Final classification

AD - Ongoing evaluation component

The ongoing evaluation consists in the elaboration of a written work (60%) and its oral presentation followed by individual discussion (40%).


Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
