Laboratory and teaching activities

The experimental activity plays an important role in the understanding and study of materials, in particular in the field of applications for Energy, where the chemical-physical and structural aspects of the materials are closely combined with the various types of use in energy harvesting, transformation, saving and storage.

The Advanced Materials for Energy Engineering course - [140487], 6 CFU, of the master's degree in Energy Engineering https://international.unitn.it/masterenergy  includes half of the program in laboratory projects on the topics of: (i) surface treatment and durability of materials: cyclic mechanical fatigue and residual stresses; high temperature materials; (ii) galvanic cells - primary and secondary batteries; (iii) generation and use of hydrogen; fuel cells; (iv) photovoltaic materials and devices, traditional / commercial and in the research and development phase; (v) thermoelectric materials and devices; (vi) materials for wind energy collection devices.
