Learning outcomes

By the end of the course, students will learn the microscopic physical mechanisms that govern energy conversion and storage in materials, such as photovoltage generation, charge and mass transport, interfacial kinetics, and phase transformations. They will be able to apply quantitative models and practical examples to evaluate the performance of energy devices, including solar cells, thermoelectric converters, hydrogen storage materials, and photoelectrochemical systems, and to assess the advantages and limitations of different materials strategies used for their implementation.
