Electrochemistry for Better Batteries

At Brookhaven Lab, researchers develop longer-lasting, faster-charging batteries. Students will learn about the science behind building better batteries with an introduction to atoms, molecules, and chemical reactions. Then, they’ll design and perform an experiment that tests the properties of metals and electrolytes for their potential as conductors in a wet cell battery.
