A second more advanced laboratory module will take place in this term. Students will use the skills learnt in Lab Skills and develop them further by applying them to modern energy conversion devices. Students will have the opportunity to build and test a contemporary solid state photovoltaic device, a hydrogen powered fuel cell and conduct a hydrogen storage experiment. These practical experiments will be complemented by a structure-property modelling workshop where students will model crystal structure data (using the Rietveld method) and gain experience in the equivalent circuit modelling of AC impedance data using the electrical measurements of well-known proton and lithium electrolyte materials.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.
