After successful completion of the course, students are able to...

explain and apply the basic principles of kinetic processes in inorganic solids. This enables participants to understand and evaluate solid state electrochemical experiments and to apply the gained knowledge to selection and optimization of materials for electrochemical cells (batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis cells) as well as materials for data storage, actors and sensors.

The physico-chemical and electrochemical principles are presented which determine the application-relevant properties of ceramics, inlcuding their preparation and stability. Topics are i) kinetic processes such as diffusion, charge transport, interaction with gas phase, phase formation and the respective relevance for solid state reactions as well as applications such as batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis cells, and electroceramics, ii) lattice defects in dependence of material and experimental parameters as well as their role at interfaces.

Presentation of examples and discusssion with students

Es ist eine "echte" Präsenz-VO geplant. Start: Di 15.3.2022 10.00 Uhr im Seminarraum BA 02 B

Zusätzlich wird ein umfangreiches Skript zur Verfüung gestellt (in TUWEL), anhand dessen entgangene Einheiten gut nachgeholt werden können und womit auch jederzeit ein (Wieder-)Einstieg möglich ist.

Written or oral exam

Basics of inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and solid state chemistry, possibly also ceramics and electrochemistry
