Students taking this subject must have successfully completed Electronic Devices, Solid State, Physics and Chemistry of Surfaces and Synthesis and Structure of Crystalline and Amorphous Materials.
A good level of English is recommended because the main bibliographical sources are written in this language.
This subject requires a native or near-native level of Spanish.
The subject is divided into two modules.
The first presents the main materials used in devices used for energy generation and/or storage, with special emphasis on its key properties as well as alternative processing methods.
The second module studies the relationship of nanomaterials with the environment under two complementary approaches: the use of nanomaterials for pollution remediation, and, the threats that may pose the dispersion of certain nanomaterials in the environment.
Module 0. Review of the main types of nanostructured materials andmain methods of synthesis.
Module 1. Nanomaterials for the production, storage and efficient use of Energy.
Module 2. Nanomaterials and Environment.
Adsorbents
Photocatalysts
Nanofiltration
Environmental impact of nanomaterials
The subject consists of:
34 hours of Master Classes + 6 hours of in-class exercicess + 12 hours of experimental laboratory practices.
Master Classes
They will be carried out by combining the use of computer equipment and the slate.
In-class exercicess
It will consist of seminars that will delve into some specific aspects of the analysis of documents from the scientific literature. Attendance is mandatory.
Experimental Laboratory practices
They will consist of the preparation and execution of various experimental laboratory practices related to the content of the subject. Attendance is mandatory
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

The evaluation will be done on an ongoing basis. Two partials shall be proposed, the note of which will determine 70% of the final qualification.
Exercises, written works and oral, individual and/or group presentations with delivery date will be proposed, the note of which will determine another 20% of the final qualification.
The remaining 10% of the qualification shall be determined on the basis of the evaluation of laboratory practices, by means of tests and reporting.
To pass the course, you must obtain an overall grade of 5.0 or more and at least 5.0 points out of 10 give the average of the two partial exams. For students who do not pass this grade, there will be a recovery exam. It is necessary to have done 2/3 parts of the activities of the continuous evaluation and the partial examinations in order to be entitled to the recovery test.
