Course description and aims
[Summary of the lecture] This course focuses on fundamental aspects in solar energy conversion based on photochemistry. In the early part, the course reviews fundamental photochemistry and photophysics and summarizes element processes of solar energy conversion. In the latter part, the course covers integration of these processes and view a future aspects on artificial photosynthesis.
[Aim of the lecture] It is important to utilize solar energy for sustainable society. In addition to understanding fundamental processes in photochemistry, their integration is required in order to construct solar energy conversion system. Students will have the chance to learn the concept of integration. In order to understand the integration of the element processes, students will catch experimental technique and evaluate solar energy conversion efficiency through this course.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to
(1) list up fundamental photochemical processes.
(2) explain photo-induced electron transfer and energy transfer.
(3) explain an integration of necessary elements to construct solar energy conversion system.
(4) evaluate conversion efficiency from solar light, and explain the evidential experiments.
(5) vision future solar energy conversion.
Keywords
solar energy conversion, integration, artificial photosynthesis, photoinduced electron transfer, energy transfer, conversion efficiency
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
