Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
The aim of this module is to provide students with a broad overview over functional materials currently employed or investigated for the energy provision, conversion and storage. Rather than dealing with the physical and chemical basics of energy conversion and storage, the module will focus on the many diverse materials used in this field and explain their important properties in terms of specific functionality and quantitative figures of merit.
Content:
- Fuels: energy content, production, price, sustainability
- Materials for energy conversion:
- Materials for fuel cells (membranes, anodes, cathodes, catalysts)
- Photovoltaic materials (semi-conductors, thin films, materials for sensitization)
- Photocatalytic materials
- Materials for energy storage: batteries, supercapacitors
- Environmental aspects: availability, recycling and life-cycle assessment of energy materials.
Learning Outcome
After successful completion of this module, the students:
- have an up-to-date knowledge of the most important materials in the field of energy science,
- can explain the working principles of energy conversion and storage devices (batteries, fuel cells, solar cells supercapacitors etc),
- can name factors which determine the performance of functional materials for these devices,
- can analyse and evaluate pros and cons for future viability of functional materials for energy provision, conversion and storage.
Preconditions
No specific requirements beyond those for master studies.
