Chemistry
Goals
This lecture aims to provide bases in chemistry and physico-chemistry of materials necessary to understand properties of materials at the microscopic scale (kinetics, reactivity, thermodynamics, weak bonds, electrochemistry). Applications such as new materials to produce energy (organic solar cells), power plants or vehicles working with renewable fuels, will be used to illustrate quantum chemistry and molecular interactions notions.
Programme
- Quantum model of the chemical bond.
- Introduction to statistical thermodynamics.
- Chemical reactivity and elements of chemical kinetics.
- Electron transfer at interfaces.
- Weak bonds.
