Module 1: Materials Design [Materials classes and computational/experimental approaches]
- Materials design inorganic materials
- Materials design organic materials
- Materials design computational approaches
Module 2: Fabrication and processing of materials
- Chemical solution deposition routes
- Vapour phase processing and thin film growth physics
Module 3: Structure–processing–performance relationships
- Reflection on comparison of experimental and computational approaches
- Design, synthesis, and function are fundamentally connected. Computation materials design may lead for example to the proposal of suboxides in which transition metals are all present in a lower oxidation state than the normal one. This imposes special demands to the synthesis or even can make synthesis impossible (at the current state of knowledge). Reflection on the constraints imposed by synthetic accessibility on the freedom to design is needed.
- Design and function will be connected with several case studies, with a focus on sustainable technology. Materials choices will be debated and various synthetic strategies will be considered based on the course content. Several examples:
- What contemporary tools can we exploit that may provide access to previously unattainable structures (based on efficiency or structural control for example)?
- What structural (molecular) features can be exploited to make a material more prone to recyclability?
- What structural features make a material perform at the optimal conditions (in solar cells, batteries, infrastructure)?
Module 4: Hot Topics in Materials Design and Synthesis
- Thematic sessions will be provided in short seminars.
