Electrochemical Energy Storage

By Prof. Subhasish Basu Majumder   |   IIT Kharagpur
Learners enrolled: 958
This course illustrates the diversity of applications for secondary batteries and the main characteristics required of them in terms of storage. The introductory module introduces the concept of energy storage and also briefly describes about energy conversion. A module is also devoted to present useful definitions and measuring methods used in electrochemical storage. Subsequent modules are devoted to teach students the details of Li ion batteries, sodium ion batteries, supercapacitors, lithium – air, and lithium - sulphur batteries. Separate modules are also devoted to describe lithium reserves, extraction and recycling of Li ion batteries. Finally, other types of batteries including redox – flow batteries are described in a separate module. The course is divided into twelve modules each contains five half an hour lectures. Each module lectures is self contained to encourage student understanding and reinforce key concepts. Carefully designed problem set will help students to grasp the underlying concepts taught in the course.

INTENDED AUDIENCE : 3rd or Final year UG and 1st Semester PG/Ph.D students studying Matallurgical and Materials Engineering/Materials Science/Ceramic Technology/Electrical Engineering/Energy Science/Nanotechnology (as one of the  open elective courses) 
PRE-REQUISITES    : High school knowledge in Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics are required. Knowledge on undergraduate level electrochemistry is a plus.

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Kharagpur .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.
