| Learning Outcome: | Students are introduced to the complete chain of hydrogen energy technology, covering hydrogen production, storage, distribution, and utilization. Each chapter of the course explores the physico-chemical principles underlying specific hydrogen technologies, provides a detailed description of the technology (including material selection and production aspects), and illustrates its applications through practical examples. The course also incorporates exercises and a graded laboratory experiment, enhancing hands-on learning and practical application of theoretical knowledge. |
