Objectives
General objective
- The aim of the course is to provide skills in the following areas:
- energy saving; storage systems, supercapacitors, batteries, fuel cells; hydrogen production from water and renewable sources; syngas production; organic and hybrid photovoltaics; development of environmental nanosensors, with particular attention to electrochemical approaches and the role of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies, the application of quantum dots (CdSe/ZnS, C, ZnO, CdTe, InP, Zn/Se, PbS, ..).
- technical-economic analysis of convenience, (analysis of physical/chemical processes, through thermodynamic, fluid dynamic and transport approaches; economic evaluations: manufacturing and capital costs, product value and cost of raw materials) in particular referred to the contexts of mobility, energy and the development of innovative technologies;
- decision-making mechanisms;
- skills and knowledge on entrepreneurship and creation of new businesses;
- the presentation of proposals for technological innovation.
