The battery technology has an active history of 200 years after the invention of Alessandro Volta in 19th century and is moving fast forward to address the energy-storage demands in the modern time. As of today, there are 3 main areas of application for rechargeable (secondary) batteries, i.e., portable electronics, transport, and stationary applications. Lithium-ion batteries represent a good example of the recent fruitful scientific and industrial battery research. This course is an exciting journey into the world of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The basic concepts for the design, production, and control of these batteries are introduced. To do so, the following major topics are touched upon:
-What are the main components of a LIB?
-How different materials are selected and assembled to build a LIB for a specific application?
-What physical/chemical phenomena are responsible for the proper operation of a LIB?
-How to depict a mathematical portrait of a LIB for the design and control purposes?

Academic relevance:
Batteries are complex electrochemical systems in which many fields of science and engineering are involved. They are certainly one of the most important players in order to realize a post-carbon and sustainable society. Electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineers work together in order to design, integrate, and control the batteries in different applications. A common yet deep enough understanding of the lithium-ion batteries is essential for the engineers who are mostly responsible to integrate a battery into a small electronic device (e.g., cell phone) as well as a big electric bus. This common understanding (language) is a physics-based mathematical interpretation of the battery performance. Sophisticated models could then be built up not only to help the battery production but also to design battery-management-systems (BMS) that are responsible to ensure a safe and transparent operation of a battery in our electronic devices.
New skills for new markets:
Lithium-ion batteries are presently used in most of the electronic devices and are further extending to support the electricity consumption in houses (e.g., combined with solar panels) and transport systems (i.e., electric cars, buses, and scooters).
Post-graduate research opportunities:
Rechargeable batteries are extensively under research and investigation in the community of energy storage. This course provides a solid background for the students who want to participate in the research activities for the design and control of advanced battery systems. |
