Table of Contents: 00:09 Lecture 1.1: The Battery Potential 00:27 A Sketch of a Rechargeable Battery 05:13 The Electrolyte Intervening Medium 08:15 Potential of Electrodes 11:43 Example Reactions 17:16 Battery Voltage 21:11 Untitled: Slide 7 This video is part of the nanoHUB-U course "Introduction to the Materials Science of Rechargeable Batteries " This course will provide an introduction to the fundamentals behind the equilibrium and time-dependent response of existing and emerging chemistries of Li-ion battery materials. Effects of material selection and processing on the performance and reliability are presented as a means to develop conceptual guidelines to understand and improve battery designs. Example applications such as intercalation, SEI, and dendrite growth are presented. Integration of experimental microstructural aspects to coarse-graining measured properties, such as porosity, tortuosity and its associated reactivity, and classic and emerging battery architectures are presented. Principles summarizing the response of battery architectures are formulated and applied to propose battery design guidelines, to review existing porous electrode theory descriptions, and to summarize the current state-of-the-art of battery technology and its associated metrology.
