Description
The very first module of the course will introduce the definitions
and expressions relevant to the technical electrochemistry.
Then, the basics of battery electro-chemistry will
be discussed including both the thermo-dynamics (electrode
potential, cell voltage) and the kinetics (ohmic,
charge transfer, and concentration overpotentials). Finally,
the application of this basic knowledge to porous electrodes
will be shown.
