Course Aims

Material is an essential component for sustainable development. For example, wind turbines and dam require the use of structural materials; solar cells require the use of electrical and optical materials; heating/cooling and energy storage require the use of materials with phase change/transformation; batteries require the use of materials with diffusive properties. This course will introduce basic materials structure, properties and characterizations, and apply them to energy applications.
