Course description and aims
Inorganic solid chemistry is a science in which the research aiming at examining the structure of the synthesized solids, together with their application, is systematically organized from the standpoint of chemistry. In order to freely design and synthesize inorganic solid substances possessing a variety of characteristics, including magnetism, ion- and electron conductivity, superconductivity and optical properties, it is very important to understand the relationship between chemical bonding and crystal structure, as well as the physical properties of the substance. In this lecture, we will deal with the electrical properties, magnetic properties, optical properties, ionic conduction properties, and energy conversion and storage properties from the point of view of material design. In the second half, we will describe device applications of energy conversion and storage materials, as well as the current situation and challenges including the latest topics.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to explain the concept and acquire knowledge of materials science required to develop inorganic solid materials mainly as energy conversion and storage materials. In this lecture, in addition to the energy conversion and storage characteristics, students will comprehend the associated electrical properties, magnetic properties, and optical properties to facilitate the understanding based on the correlation of chemical bonding and crystalline structure.
