Reorienting our global energy economy away from hydrocarbons requires significant advances in energy storage, transfer and conversion. Achieving such advances — whether you want to build better batteries, find better fuels to store energy generated from renewable sources or find new photovoltaic materials — requires understanding the properties of solids. In this course we will explain how the microscopic, molecular-scale, structure of solids controls the macroscopic properties, e.g. thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, that are of interest in applications. If you ever want to build the best energy conversion, storage and transfer devices physics allows this is material is a necessary step.
