New Directions in Materials Chemistry (CHEM0039)

The course discusses a range of materials with an emphasis on understanding the relationships between their structure, composition and physico-chemical properties.

MODULE AIMS

Understand challenges in the development of products (pharmaceuticals and conductive solids) based on organic solids, differentiate various types of molecular crystal forms and propose a strategy to fully characterize them and understand structure-property relationships for selected compounds.
	Understand the requirements of the energy market and match the requirements to specific energy storage and conversion methods. Understand the fundamental materials properties that underpin the optimal operation of electrochemical energy storage and conversion devices. Obtain an overview over current materials of interest and Understand the strategies to design new materials.
	Describe modern thin film deposition methods and their applications in scientific research and technology. Understand the chemistry behind each technique.

Advanced Topics in Physical Chemistry (CHEM0037)

The aim of this module is to apply fundamental concepts of physical chemistry to systems which explore the interfaces between phases. The factors influencing electron transfer between a species in solution and a solid electrode will be quantified. Rates and types of reactions at surfaces will be explored. Soft matter is a subarea of condensed matter that studies physical states whose structural forces makes them sensitive to thermal fluctuations. These include: most liquids, colloids, liquid crystals, polymers and the majority of biological materials.

MODULE AIMS

Students should be able to:

Discuss the kinetics of electron transfer at electrodes using different models
	Explain how solution diffusion influences reaction rates
	Describe how electrochemical techniques can provide information on electron transfer reaction mechanisms, kinetics and mass transport
	Explain the terminology used to describe surfaces and surface energetics
	Discuss the thermodynamics and kinetics of adsorption
	Describe and distinguish various models of surface reactivity
	Discuss intramolecular forces in soft-matter and self-assembly
	Discuss interactions among colloidal particles
TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS

Lectures: The topics will be introduced through a blended delivery of asynchronous videos with online activities, and support hours. Workshops will then provide the opportunity to work through question sets and for further interactive learning.

Self-study: In addition to timetabled hours it is expected that you engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form of practicing example questions (additional questions available on Moodle and past exam questions) and further reading in textbooks and online.
