Descriptif
The role of chemistry in energy is explored in this course through an overview in electrochemistry and electroanalysis, old and state-of-the-art battery technology, and a first introduction to nanotechnology and nanomaterials. It is also planned an experimental lab to create ultimate perovskites-based solar cells. This intermediate-level chemistry course also explores topics such as chemistry in water, namely acid/base, complexation equilibrium and selectivity in chemical transformations. Basic notions in organic synthesis will be presented with the example of substitution and elimination reactions. Finally introduction to polymers and especially biosourced ones will be presented.
We continue offering experimental labs, up to 7 during the course, to strengthen concepts and gain experimental skills that will be key for future lab internships or postgraduate projects.
