This course introduces different properties of advanced materials, which aim to address the key current challenges in science and technology. Such materials have applications in the diverse fields of: energy production and storage, the environment (both in terms of its monitoring and remediation), electronic technology and high-speed communication, big data and quantum, health and medicine. The course will examine structure-property correlations, device fabrication and real-world applications of next generation materials. Topics covered in the course may include: - Energy conversion (photo/mechanical/electrical-driven energy conversion and chemical fuels production) - Energy storage (battery, supercapacitors, hydrogen fuel, and redox flow cells), - Global warming mitigation (CO2 reduction to value-added resources), - Radiochemistry and environmental protection (gas/chemical sensing, pollutant decontamination) - Electronic and electrical applications: various intelligent devices for sensing, Al and high-speed communication etc.) - Semiconductor materials, photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (LEDs/lasers, photodetectors, solar cells and quantum devices). - Water treatment and medical applications: i.e. water filtration, diagnostic and therapeutic applications
