Energy crisis is a matter of serious global concern, and all the major nations of the world are investing huge capital in the quest for sustainable energy sources. Fossil fuels are very limited, and their utilization comes with several harmful effects on human health and environment. However, the subject of nanoscience, nanomaterial and technology and her phenomena have had an extraordinary season of development and excitement in the last few years. And these phenomena associated with nanomaterials require chemical understanding. In this course, the students should be able to specialize in nanomaterials and how nanomaterials can be designed and utilized in energy conversion and storage devices.
The course will emphasize on Understand the fundamental concepts of nanoscience and nanotechnology and distinguish between the different families of nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanotubes, graphene, MOFs, perovskites) and their specific applications in the energy field. and how Develop a critical mindset about the environmental and health impacts of nanomaterials, such as toxicity, life cycle analysis, and eco-design. and hence, will be grasp the regulatory, ethical, and economic challenges related to the deployment of nanotechnologies in the energy sector.
