Objectives
To indroduce concepts in molecular and materials sciences relevants in the study of energy conversion and storage.
Justification
This mini-course will cover some fundamental concepts in molecular and materials sciences relevants for applications on energy conversion and storage. Two prominent scientific topics on the modern routes to implement an environmentally friendly energy matrix will be discussed. The first is the so-called artificial photosynthesis where the solar energy is converted into chemical energy (producing the solar fuels) with the aid of a photo-electro-catalyst. The mechanisms of photo-induced charge transfer reactions will be presented. This topic is closely related the prospective usage of hydrogen as our future energy carrier. The second topic will be the electrical energy storage in battery devices. A special attention will be given for recently proposed organic electrodes. The physics and chemistry of ion insertion in organic materials will be presented. First-principles theory based approaches will be covered and also some artificial inteligence concepts.
