Sustainable Energy Infrastructure (211040-003)

The transition to a sustainable energy economy relies on the availability of key technologies for energy conversion and storage. The development and evolution of these technologies is becoming a central aspect for scientists in research and industry.

The purpose of this module is to outline various scenarios and key reactions, materials and devices for a renewable energy economy. We will discuss the complexity of the transition from fossil to renewable resources and focus on specific aspects in materials science like functional materials and important reactions in catalysis like water splitting and hydrogen evolution.
