The SURFCAT Summer School welcomes students from all over the world
General course objectives
To give the students an overview of the status and challenges in fundamental energy research.
Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
Have knowledge at the general level of the energy challenges we are faced with
Point out different solution scenarios for the energy production and conversion of the future
Have thorough knowledge about tools for design and synthesis used in the production of catalysts
Point out the most interesting scientific problems within heterogeneous catalysis as it pertains to energy conversion and protection of the environment
Identify key scientific questions within electrochemistry and identify how certain processes can be used to store and convert energy
Discuss advantages and disadvantages between electrolysis and photo electro catalysis and be able to identify the most important areas in which to focus the research effort
Discuss the extent of our energy challenge in a quantitative manner
Achieve a quick and concise insight of his/her own research related to above areas
ECTS points:
In order to get the 2.5 ECTS points for the school, students had to present a poster at the poster session and participate actively in the lectures and exercises.
