BIOINSPIRED ENERGY STORAGE DEVICES

BIOINSPIRED ENERGY STORAGE DEVICES. The course aims to familiarise students with:

• Basic principles related to energy storage and electricity
• Basic knowledge about modern energy storage devices, measurements of physicochemical quantities, construction and obtaining different energy storage devices
• Principles of operation and application of basic energy storage devices as well as application of biomaterials in them
• The principles of health and safety while working with energy storage devices

The programme of the course is divided into three main blocks – lectures, laboratories and projects. Please find below detailed description of every block.

1. Lectures

• Principles of electrochemical energy storage
• Types of energy storage devices
• Bioinspired materials for energy storage
• Construction of bioinspired energy storage devices
• Pros and cons of biomaterials for energy storage

2. Laboratories

• Assembling of typical energy storage device
• Preparation and characterisation of bioinspired material for electrodes
• Preparation and characterisation of bioinspired material for separator
• Formation of electrodes for bioinspired energy storage devices
• Construction of bioinspired energy storage devices

3. Projects

• Introduction to the project regarding the bioinspired energy storage
• Choosing the topic of the project, energy storage device and bioinspired
• Where to find and how to collect the necessary data for the realisation of the project?
• Design of bioinspired energy storage device
• Characterisation of the final product and how to perform the quantitative description?
