Schedule, syllabus and examination date

Course content

Materials for solar cells: semi-conductors. Battery materials : Li-batteries, metal-hydrid-batteries. Materials for hydrogen technology: production (electrolysis), storage (hydrids), fuel cells. Materials used in connection with gas power (catalysts, microporous materials, membranes).

Learning outcome

The object of the course is to give the students an overview of structure and properties of some important material groups which are the basis of modern energy technology. Also the course introduces some principles for applications.

Admission

Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.

If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
