Course content
Development of new energy materials and devices to substituted traditional energy which contributing to global warming has become an important issue for every country in the world. For enabling graduate students to understand current and future energy challenges, acquire skills for selecting materials and manufacturing processes in the design of the devices/components required for renewable energy, energy management, and energy harvesting technology, this course provides important physical and chemical principles for new energy technologies as well as extensive knowledge on new energy materials and devices, such as, solar energy, hydrogen and fuel cell, thermoelectric, power battery for electric vehicle and others new energy devices. It is important not only to achieve the optimum material selection, but also to make comprehensive judgments such as the low energy of electronics in devices and the adoption of environmentally friendly technology in material processing.
Purpose of class
The course provides an opportunity for students to gain understanding the importance and necessity of development new energy and materials. The course will build a bridge between new energy material and devices application based on specialize knowledge on material science and chemistry and physics.
Goals and objectives
  1. Student should be able to gain understanding the characteristics of various kinds of new energy, energy policies of developed countries and advantages of new energies.
  2. Student should be able to gain understanding the basic working principles, new energy materials, devices structure and application routes.
  3. Student should be able to gain understanding the development history, importance of new energy material and device in our daily life and future world.
