Course description and aims

Students acquire the understanding on the properties for unique shape of nanoparticles, which cause quantum size effect. Also students can learn applications of nanoparticle technologies in the field of environment and energy such as photocatalysis and electrochemistry. In addition to the nanoparticles science and applications, students can study how to write strong patent in the field of nanoparticle industry.

Student learning outcomes

Students acquire the basic knowledge on the properties of nanoparticles on the basis of solid state physics and quantum physics. Industrial applications of nanoparticles in the field of environment and energy (photocatalysis and electrochemistry) are also presented. Further, students can study how to write strong patent to be a future R&D leader.

Keywords

particle, quantum dot, nanotube, nanosheet, environment, energy, patent

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Explain basic and applied aspect of fine-particle engineering. Several lectures will be conducted by online (ZOOM). For good communication between lecturers and students, Q&A time and/or quiz will be organized.
