The course starts with electrochemistry basics, then moves through fuel cell definitions and history, the chemistry that governs efficiency, the main fuel cell types and the engineering of selected designs. It closes with the economics of fuel cells in transport and whether hydrogen makes sense as an energy source.
Students of chemistry or energy, teachers and engineers who want a structured overview will benefit. The emphasis is on applying concepts rather than memorizing models, so it rewards readers who bring some chemistry with them.
Its economic lectures are the bridge to policy and commercial questions, so pair them with current industry data when you watch.
You are a professional, a student, a teacher or just interested in general in the principles of Fuel Cells? Then this is the right course for you!
In this course, we will cover various concepts, reactions and applications of Fuel Cells. For this purpose we will start at the very beginning, picking you up and introducing into some fundamental concepts of Electrochemistry. We will shine light on various aspects of Fuel Cells by looking at question of Chemistry and Engineering. Additionally, we will also discuss Economic aspects of this technology.
The concept of this course is not to only give textbook explanations to things and to explain models. Instead it aims at using your knowledge to understand the bigger picture and apply the knowledge you gained.
The curriculum of this course will allow you a step-by-step introduction by covering the following topics:
Electrochemistry Basics - Here you will learn some chemical concepts to understand the foundation of Fuel Cells
Definitions and History - We will talk about simple definitions, components of Fuel Cells and have a look at their history connected to political and economic motivations in their development
Fuel Cell Chemistry - This chapter will help you to understand the fundamental processes in a Fuel Cell and how their efficiency is influenced
Types of Fuel Cells - We will have a broad look over certain Fuel Cell types, where they are used and what makes them unique
Focus Lectures - In this parts we will have a deeper look in the engineering and the individual components of selected Fuel Cells
Applications - Here we will discuss the economic viability of the Fuel Cell technology in transportation and the viability of Hydrogen as a energy source in general
Finishing this course, you will be able to talk about the operational principle of Fuel Cells, employed materials, explain which parameters influence their operation and where they can be found / applied!
