The Department of Energy Storage Science and Engineering was established in October 2020.
The department currently has 16 full-time teachers, including 5 professors and 6 associate professors.
The Department of Energy Storage Science and Engineering has a major in Energy Storage Science and Engineering. This major has a four-year schooling system, has the right to confer master's and doctoral degrees, and has a post-doctoral mobile station.
The energy storage science and engineering major is an emerging special major approved by the Ministry of Education in 2020. This major is oriented towards the national energy strategic transformation and the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. It is characterized by thick foundation, emphasis on practice, deep integration, and strong innovation. Students have a solid grasp of mathematics, physics, chemistry and electricity storage. On the basis of basic theories such as hydrogen storage and heat storage, closely track the cutting-edge scientific and technological achievements in the field of electrochemical energy storage, thermal mass energy storage, etc. Interdisciplinary talents in the field of energy storage.
Graduates of this major are mainly for national strategic emerging industries such as smart grids, batteries (power sources), new energy vehicles, new energy/energy storage materials, mobile communications, etc. There is a shortage of talents in the field of energy storage.
