Module 2: Catalysis for Energy Conversion

The  catalytic behavior of energy synthesis materials in energy conversion  is one of the key research directions of energy materials chemistry.  Focusing on the energy conversion process, how to identify key catalytic  reactions, detect and characterize the microscopic reaction mechanism,  and finally achieve accurate design and modulation of key catalytic  processes is particularly important. In this module, the lecturers will  introduce the basic knowledge related to photocatalysis and  electrocatalysis, and introduce the catalytic performance optimization,  microscopic mechanism research and cutting-edge application progress of  different catalytic reactions (including but not limited to water  splitting, nitrogen fixation reaction, nitrate reduction reaction,  carbon dioxide reduction reaction and small organic molecule redox  reaction) based on their own scientific research.


Module 3: Electrochemical Energy

Electrochemical  energy chemistry, especially battery-related research, plays a key role  in energy storage and utilization. Basing on the actual application  scenarios, how to accurately design and develop new battery systems,  improve and optimize the battery performance (cycle life, capacity,  charge and discharge rate, energy conversion efficiency, etc.), and  finally realize the practical application with high energy conversion  efficiency, large capacity, and eco friendliness. In this module, the  lecturers will introduce the basic knowledge related to batteries, and  introduce the design and application of battery systems in combination  with their own scientific research work, including but not limited to  secondary batteries, fuel cells, dye-sensitized solar cells, etc.
