● 課程說明(Course Description)
This course covers the fundamental structure theory of materials, emphasizing the
surface configuration and composition effects on the heterogenous catalytic
reactions for different types of electrochemical related energy application
devices. Course scheme includes energy conversion (Fuel cells at Low / High
Temperature and Desensitized Solar Cell) and storage (Li ion battery, Super
capacitor, and H2 storage materials). The working principles and corresponding
strategies for the optimization of the aforementioned energy application devices
will be explained. The contents will be presented basing on introduction level of
heterogenous heterogeneous catalysis reactions in terms of basic structure and
physics of nanomaterials.
