Batteries, Fuel Cells, and their Role in Modern Society
Heads up! This course may be archived and/or unavailable.
In today's world, we see game-changing movements in transportation and energy markets. A better understanding of the processes involved can help you to find your own role in these incipient shifts and take advantage of monumental changes down the road.
This course is an elementary introduction to batteries and fuel cell, the cornerstone of electromobility and renewable energy, the main drivers of sustainable development. Learning the lessons of history, understanding the main driving forces, and gaining the basic knowledge of the key technologies will build your basic all-around comprehension of the subject.
This course aims tobridgescience and society. For students focused on science, it will help illustrate the demands of society and industry. For learners from industry, business, or from generalist backgrounds, it will be the lucid introduction to the subject.
The short course will not make you an expert in batteries, fuels cells, and electric vehicles, but will help you incommunicating with scientists and engineers and make your further education (or self-education) more productive. The main focus of the course is on batteries - namely, lithium-ion batteries - and electric vehicles as the key market.
What you'll learn
- Lessons of history that build understanding of possible risks of electromobility in near future
- The driving forces of growing demand in electromobility and energy storage and how these will change the game
- Basic principles and “how it works” for electric vehicles, batteries and fuels cells
- Main types of batteries and fuel cells
- How electrode material chemistry defines battery characteristics

What people are saying
efficient than conventional fossil
For example, author doesn't profoundly explain theory of voltaic cell, but spends several videos to say that fuel cell is more efficient than conventional fossil burning.
establish its huge li-ion-battery
This course came in very handy in the city of Skellefteå, Sweden, where Northvolt had just decided to establish its huge Li-Ion-battery factory, Northvolt One.
obvious things often take
Course is rather unbalanced - complicated and fundamental concepts are not explained in as they should be, but obvious things often take several videos.
rather unbalanced - complicated
arranged weekly meetings
I, as a education strategist at the community, just spread information and arranged weekly meetings for discussion (a Scandinavian "study circle").
contained different parts
The course was very up to date, and contained different parts, all from history and development of environmental policy to actual cell chemistry questions.

profoundly explain theory
16 participants
Worked just fine for us 16 participants, very engaging when one has the possibility to discuss with one another as well (which can laso be done in forums in the dcoruse)!

about electromobility
This was the first version of the course, and there are some smaller items to improve, but we really enjoyed this course about electromobility and batteries.
