Outline of lecture
Three lecturers will cover the following topics.
Part I Nano Chemistry
Part II Surface Chemistry
Part III Solid State Chemistry
Purpose of lecture
This class will cover materials chemistry for energy and environment issues, including nano chemistry, surface chemistry, and solid state chemistry with emphasis on aspects of condensed matter physics. The lecture will be also extended to the application aspects including photocatalysis, photovoltaics, catalysis, and opto-electronic devices.

1. Introduction to nano chemistry
2. New physical and chemical properties observed by nano-sizing of substances
3. Inorganic nanoparticles of metals, metal oxides, and metal calcogenides
4. Hybrid substances of inorganic nanoparticles with organic moieties
5. Applications of nano substances for the photoenergy conversion
Part II Surface Chemistry
Assoc.Prof. Eiichi Suzuki
6. Surface Structure
7. Interaction of molecules with surface
8. Chemical reactions on surface
9. Catalysis
10. Applications
Part III Solid State Chemistry
Prof. Akira Ohtomo
11. Chemical bond and electronic band
12. Phase equilibrium
13. Crystal growth
14. Physical properties
15. Electronic and photonic devices

Comments from lecturer
Prof. Akira Ohtomo: My part will mainly follow the topics described in the textbook, some of which have been dealt in a related Japanese class (Advanced Inorganic Solid-State Chemistry at the spring semester). For those who have already completed the former Japanese class, therefore, this class will be helpful for reviewing the contents as well as for leaning technical terms in English. Those who will first study inorganic solid-state chemistry are encouraged to read the chapters of relevant topics prior to the classes (ask me which chapters you should read). The lecture notes will be provided.
Prof. Yuji Wada: Students who want to carry on the researches on energy and environment issues need to understand not only molecular science but also chemistry of nano-sized substances. You are welcome.
