Homework

Pick a specific topic centering on electrochemistry or electrochemical


engineering and explain briefly what specific aspect you personally would
like to know more about that topic. Notes:
❑The topic has to be SPECIFIC and NOT too broad/big:
For example, instead of “battery”, one may choose
▪ “cyclability of solid state lithium battery with ceramic electrolyte”
▪ “state-of-the-art power density for lead acid battery for automobiles”
▪ “current status for silicon anode for lithium-ion battery with higher capacity”
❑Please declare the use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) if applicable - NO points
will be deducted, but please share the prompts that was used as well
❑Less than 100 words
❑Must be typed
