EEM603C: MATERIALS AND DEVICES FOR ENERGY APPLICATIONS M. Tech. - EEM (ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT) IInd Year (III - Semester) L T P/D Credits Class Work : 25 Marks 3 -- -- 3 Examination (Theory/Practical) : 75 Marks Total : 100 Marks Duration of Examination : 3 Hours Course Objectives: The development of novel materials and processes requires deep knowledge of physical foundations of materials. The central objective of the course is to provide basic understanding of physics and technology behind thin film growth. Possible applications demonstrating novel material designs and case studies in technological areas of current interest will be discussed. The aim of this course is to provide the knowledge on the physics of nanostructure materials, materials growth aspects important for size control and size selection and application of nanoscale materials for energy harvesting. The aim of this course is to provide the knowledge on the Experimental methods used by researchers to understand the properties of materials. Unit I: Hydrogen Energy: Need and Relevance in relation to depletion of fossil fuels and environmental considerations. Hydrogen Production: Photo-electrolysis, Fossil, Biological Process & Bio Fuels, Benefits and barriers of different production methods. Unit II: Hydrogen Storage technologies: compressed storage, liquid state storage, solid state storage, different materials for storage metal hydrides, high surface area materials, complex and chemical hydrides, – hydrogen storage system design and materials aspects. Advantages and disadvantage of different – storage methods. Metal Hydrides: Benefits, PC isotherms, Hydrogen storage methods. Unit III: Fundamentals of Hydrogen storage in different materials: Carbon nanostructures, Magnesium hydrides, Intermetallics and other materials. Unit IV: Hydrogen Fuel Cells: Principle and workings systems, Applications, Safety & Standards. Application of Hydrogen/Hydrides as fuel in Engines, Socio-Economic Aspects. Comparative future viability analysis, Hydrogen economics, Public acceptability of hydrogen, Policy implications and Current status. Course outcomes: This course will discuss some of the important concepts, which are key to understand and modify the properties of different types of materials. The course lays foundation for advanced courses in engineering aspects of materials and their applications. This course will provide the knowledge on the Experimental methods used by researchers to understand the properties of materials.
