A future renewable energy economy will be critically dependent on emerging technologies that allow for the facile interconversion of electrical and chemical energy. In order to enable MIT undergraduate students with the necessary skills to be scientific and technology leaders in this vibrant and dynamic research frontier, we propose to develop a hands>on discovery> science based laboratory module that focuses on experimental electrochemical techniques that form the bedrock of renewable energy storage technologies.
