Course description and aims
This lecture demonstrates various technologies under developing for solving energy and environment issues: photoenergy conversion, chemical production driven by electromagnetic waves, functional surface technology, and electricity production and storage, emphasizing an important role of solid state chemistry in developing these novel technologies.
Students are required to understand the interaction of substances with electromagnetic waves such as light and microwaves with absolutely different wave lengths. Furthermore they are advised to identify the advantages of materials creation designed in relation with surface science and solid state chemistry.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) explain photoenergy conversion, chemical production driven by electromagnetic waves, functional surface technology, and electricity production and storage on the basis of solid state chemistry.
2) explain the interaction beween electromagnetic waves with various wavelengths and substances.
3) explain heat generation occurring to substances under microwave irradiation.
4) explain chemistry of functional surface by raising an example.
Keywords
Oscillating electromagnetic field, Photoinduced electron transfer, Dielectric loss
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
1) At the beginning of each class, important items explained in the previous class are reviewed.
