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
Fuel cells, Solar cells, Batteries, High-temperature materials, Catalysts and catalysis, Thermoelectric materials
Competencies that will be developed

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
none
Reference books, course materials, etc.
There is no textbook. Reading materials will be distributed if needed.
Assessment criteria and methods
Evaluation will be based on the term end examination and the assignment for each class. Attendance is required to submit each assignment. The term end examinations will be held at the Ookayama and Suzukakedai campuses.
