一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>Learning Objective: The objectives of this course are to introduce ceramic 
<br>materials for energy storage applications through supercapacitors, batteries, 
<br>and fuel cells to students. This course will be helpful to students to 
<br>understand the concepts of energy storage. The course would also teach 
<br>students essential techniques and technology of 
<br>batteries/supercapacitors/full cells through understanding the underlying 
<br>kinetics and thermodynamics of electrode processes.
<br>
<br>Content: This course introduces a wide range of energy storage technology in 
<br>the following areas: Types of energy storage; basic electrochemical 
<br>principles in supercapacitors/batteries/ fuel cells; Ceramic materials used 
<br>for energy storage; Factors affecting energy storage performance; 
<br>Applications of supercapacitors/batteries/fuel cells. 
<br>Students will visit a battery factory or research center. They will learn how 
<br>to fabricate simple batteries devices and how to handle basic instruments to 
<br>analyze the device performance. Students will work in groups, prepare a 
<br>report (in a journal paper style), and present an oral presentation regarding 
<br>a potential ceramic material for energy storage applications.
<br>
<br>Learning Outcome:
<br>On completion of this course, the students will be able to:
<br>● Understand the basic principles of electrochemical energy storage devices
<br>● Understand the factors affecting electrochemical energy storage devices 
<br>performance.
<br>● Understand the principles, operation, and prospects of lithium ion and 
<br>sodium ion battery technology.
<br>● Be able to write a report in a journal paper style
