120 credits in science/engineering including 30 credits in chemistry and/or chemical engineering. Either (1) Participation in both Introduction to Energy Storage and Materials Chemistry for Batteries or (2) Materials Chemistry 10 credits and participation in Materials and Manufacturing Processes I. Proficiency in English equivalent to the Swedish upper secondary course English 6.
The course will give an overview of materials synthesis methods of relevance for battery-related materials. This includes solid-state synthesis, solution-based synthesis, surface coating and treatment, polymers, nanoparticles and nanostructured materials and porous compounds. The advantages and disadvantages of different synthesis approaches for battery materials will be addressed and you will gain hands-on experience in the synthesis of a key battery material via multiple routes.
