Congratulations, you have now completed this course on Batteries for the energy transition. In this video, Professor Ulla Lassi concluded the content of the course, as she summarised the materials …

If you want to know more about the battery value chain, we recommend getting familiar with the BattValue project funded by EIT Raw materials. The BattValue project provides courses with …

The world population is growing rapidly and so is the demand for raw materials. At the same time, the supply of crucial raw materials is limited. Meanwhile, the extraction and …

We are now going to look at some other potential anode materials. Lithium titanate (LTO) A lithium-titanate (LTO, (Li_{4}Ti_{5}O_{12})) batteries are rechargeable batteries that are much faster to charge than …

We are now going to look at the basic sustainable development idea and sustainable value chain. Sustainable development according to Brundtland report was defined as: ‘development that meets the needs …

The need for urgent and more intensive actions against climate change has been broadly recognized. The Paris Agreement 2015 The Paris Agreement was approved by 196 parties on December 12, …

The term battery technology refers to the research, design, manufacture, use, and end-of-life processes of closed electrochemical devices, which directly convert chemical energy into electrical energy. When using a battery, …

The energy (E) of a battery depends not only on the potential difference (V), which is an intensive property of electrodes but also on stored electrical charge (Q), which is …

Graphite is the most common negative electrode material in commercial LIBs. It is widely used in batteries because it exhibits unique properties. Highly purified graphite acts as the negative electrode …

Undoubtedly, energy plays an indispensable role in our daily lives. One can easily understand the concepts of chemical energy in fuels, thermal energy in the form of heat, kinetic energy …

Energy availability, greater exploitation of intermittent renewable resources, clean cities and electric cars have a common denominator: they are all areas where the greatest progress has been achieved thanks to …
