Course description and aims
This course focuses on various materials which are used in modern energy conversion devices. Students will gain the basic knowledge of the physical properties, structures, functions, processes, and the evaluation method of those functional energy materials. Specifically, fuel cell materials, high-temperature energy conversion materials, catalytic materials are highlighted, and the state-of-the-art energy devices and related functional materials will be explained. Energy materials are categorized into metals, ceramics, and polymers in term of their carrier conductivity. A role of those functional materials in energy devices will be explained comprehensively. Moreover, students will obtain the knowledge of the relationship between operating principle and the marginal efficiency of the devices and materials functions.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. Explain the basics of fuel cell materials.
2. Explain the basics of high-temperature materials.
3. Explain the basics of secondary battery materials.
4. Explain the similarities and differences among these materials.
Keywords
