Course description and aims
This course focuses on various materials which are used in energy conversion devices. Students will gain the basic knowledge of the physical properties, structures, functions, processes, and the evaluation method of various functional materials. Specifically, fuel cell materials, solar cell materials, high temperature energy conversion materials, and catalytic materials are highlighted, and the state-of-the-art energy devices and related functional materials are explained. This course focuses on "photons and materials interaction" and materials are categorized into organic/inorganic and metal/semiconductor/dielectric materials: Students will obtain the basics of their physical and chemical properties. Moreover, the course enables deep understanding of relations between operating principle and the marginal efficiency of energy devices and materials functions. Lectures cover materials synthesis, process technology, and characterization comprehensively.
