Course description and aims
This course focuses on the design of effective functionality by chemical and physical combination of molecules, nanomaterials and bulk materials. The concept of combination of materials is essential in the field of materials science to develop fine and novel functionalities. This approach is not only useful for material design, but is applicable to design energy devices. Students will have the chance to tackle practical problems by applying knowledge acquired throughthis course.This course introduces the principles and application of the specific phenomenon and the efficiency improvement of the photochemical energy conversion, and the properties of polymers for lithium ion battery. This is a continuation of “ENR.H501 ： Advanced Chemical Materials for Energy Issues I”. This course facilitates students’ understanding of materials in energy devices and development in novel devices.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain electronic, photonic, and magnetic functions of the systems chemically composed with molecules, nanomaterials and bulk materials.
2) Design novel materials and solve the prospective problems for the system design.
Keywords
Photocatalyst, pigment sensitizer, solar battery, lithium ion battery, secondary battery, energy conversion materials, binder, separator
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
Before coming to class, students should read the course schedule and check what topics will be covered.
Attendance is taken in every class.
