After successful completion of the course, students are able to contribute to scientific projects and studies in an improved manner and thus to perform experimental scientific work on a competitive level.
In electrochemical energy conversion, chemical energy is either transferred into electrical energy (fuel cells and batteries) or electrical energy is stored chemically via electrolysis leading to substances of high Gibbs energy (e.g. H2 and O2).
In this lab course materials and electrode processes employed in solid oxide fuel cells and solid oxide electrolysis cells are analyzed. An important tool is impedance spectroscopy on microelectrodes prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and/or sputter deposition and lithographic micro-patterning.
