This module is entirely laboratory based and will aim to introduce students to fundamental experimental techniques and practises which are widespread across the energy sector. Various analytical, physical and inorganic experiments will be offered in a laboratory carousel which will rotate through practical experiments aiming to demonstrate the key chemical concepts behind a range of energy-based topics. These will include redox chemistry (vanadium redox flow batteries), infra-red and thermogravimetric studies (carbon capture), chelating chemistry (battery recycling), galvanic cell electrochemistry (basic fuel cell/battery). The module will build towards a more advanced practical for gas separation which will involve materials synthesis, characterisation and testing.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
