Description and contextualization of the subject
The aim of this course is to provide a foundation for understanding the general principles and fundamentals of Li-Ion battery technology design and operation. The course begins with a basic overview of the fundamental electrochemical tests applied to cell and battery characterization. Electrode formulation and coating steps will also be analysed. Battery sizing analysis, modeling and simulation techniques, cell topology options, test strategies, and charge management protocols for optimal performance will be presented. A comprehensive review of Li-Ion battery failure modes and identification of safety and hazard controls for reliable battery operation will be provided. Procedures and processes for safe handling, transportation, and storage of Li-Ion batteries will be discussed to enable user compliance to industry standards and regulations. Finally, the students will be able to assemble Li-ion coin cells and pouch cells.Teaching staff
