Energy materials creation chemistry

OGUCHI Hiroyuki
Course content
This class focuses on two types of energy materials: semiconductors, which are the main sonstituents of devices such as LEDs and transistors that are indispensable for advanced devices, and ion conductors, which plays ion transfer in batteries and sensors. Examples of their applications will be presented and their physical/chemical fundamentals will be discussed in depth. In addition to these energetic materials, X-ray diffraction, a powerful tool for materials characterization, will be reviewed.

In principle, the course will be conducted face-to-face; online delivery via Zoom will also be available, but the emphasis will be on Q&A in the classroom.
Purpose of class
In this class, we will review the applications of ionic conductors and semiconductors, which are advanced energy materials, and understand the physical properties of these materials and their origins. Students will also understand the crystal structures of these materials. In addition, the structural analysis by X-ray diffraction method will be explained.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students will be able to understand the structure and operating principles of all solid-state batteries and semiconductor devices, and be able to grasp their development trends.
  2. Students will be able to Explain the origin of physical properties of semiconductors and ionic conductors.
  3. Students will be able toUnderstand the evaluation methods of semiconductor properties and ionic conductivity, and explain their measurement principles.
