Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Despite this module can be considered as a continuation of the WS “Energy Materials I” course, it is also an independent module with a specific focus on identification, design and characterization of functional materials for energy applications. While the WS “Energy Materials I” course mainly deals with the materials particularly applicable in energy provision/storage devices involving (interfacial) charge separation, this module aims to provide a broader overview.
Content
· Nanostructured materials, their role in energy conversion and storage, design principles
· Magnetic materials in energy conversion
· Porous vs dense solids in energy applications
· Materials for hydrogen storage
· Transparent electron conductors and their applications in energy conversion
· Key techniques and methodologies for identification and characterisation of energy materials
· Superconductors: towards future energy applications
· Piezoelectric materials
Learning Outcome
Rather than dealing with the physical and chemical basics of energy conversion and storage, the module will focus on particular classes of functional materials used in this field and explain their important properties in terms of specific functionality.
After successful completion of this module, the students should: (i) have an up-to-date knowledge of important classes of materials in the field of energy science, (ii) explain the design principles to control their functionality, (iii) name factors which determine the performance of functional materials for energy applications, (iv) analyse and compare characterisation and identification techniques and methodologies widely used in energy material science.
