CHEM-344 Chemical Approaches to Solar Energy Conversion

An introduction to the fundamental electro- and photochemical processes that enable harvesting of solar energy. Topics to be addressed will include the theory and application of semiconductor materials as solar cells to capture light energy, as well as the electrochemical processes that enable the storage of that energy as solar fuels (artificial photosynthesis) or in grid scale batteries. The course will revolve around readings from the primary chemical literature. One-half credit seminar. Maximum enrollment, 12. Prerequisite, 225, 265, or 270. Next offered in Spring 2021. Kramer.
