The students are familiar with various types of electrical and thermal energy conversion and storage technology. They have a specifically high understanding of lithium-ion batteries, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells, and alkaline electrolyzers. On the fundamental level, they know the thermodynamic and kinetic working principles of electrochemical cells. On the technology level, the students know the setup and design principles of different systems, including their properties in terms of efficiency and durability. On the application level, the students are aware of applicability, requirements, and potential of different energy storage and transport systems. They have an insight into the economic status of energy storage technologies and understand the future trends in research and development.
