Course description and aims
This lecture focuses on various materials which are used in energy conversion devices. Students will gain the basic knowledge of the physical properties, structures, functions, processes, and the evaluation method of various functional materials. Specifically, fuel cell materials, solar cell materials, Li-ion batteries, high temperature energy conversion materials, catalytic materials are highlighted, and the state-of-the-art energy devices and related functional materials will be lectured. This lecture focuses on "photons and materials interaction" and students will obtain the basics of semiconductor materials and photocatalyst. Moreover, students will obtain the basics of high temperature materials and understand a role of these functional materials in high temperature energy conversion systems.

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)
There is no textbook. Reading materials will be distributed if needed.
Reference books, course materials, etc.
Reading materials will be distributed if needed.
Assessment criteria and methods
Students will be graded based on final exam and quizzes or report assignments given by the lecturers.
The grading exam will be given in both Ookayama and Suzukakedai campuses separately. Details and changes (if any) will be announced prior to the exam.
