Chemical Fundamentals of Batteries - Exam number 9958409

Why do batteries produce electric power? Why does the capacity of a battery diminish over the lifetime of a device? What makes Li-ion batteries so special that they have conquered the world? In this lecture, you will get an overview of the basic fundamental working principles of batteries, including the chemical potentials of materials, redox processes, and limiting factors. To follow this lecture, you should have a basic knowledge of chemistry, including the principles of atomic bonding, ion-creating redox processes, and pH calculations.
