Module Number: 14287
Module Title:Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage
  Materialien für Energiewandlung und Energiespeicherung
Department: Faculty 2 - Environment and Natural Sciences
Responsible Staff Member:
  • Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Acker, Jörg
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: Every summer semester
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After completing the module, students will have a broad overview of chemical and physical concepts for storing and converting energy and their technical implementation. In the module, students gain a chemical and physical understanding of processes and materials for storing and converting energy, including theoretical principles, measurement methods and performance parameters. Students are familiarized with the most important aspects and procedures for the extraction and processing of the required raw materials as well as their recovery and recycling.
Students reflect on the course content and communicate open questions. They learn to make references to current issues, carry out literature research, open up scientific texts and formulate and present content in a structured manner. After completing the module, students will be able to apply materials for energy storage and energy conversion, their functionality and applicability as well as their production, recovery and recycling and to understand, analyze, evaluate and communicate associated processes.
