Nanotechnology and Renewable Energy MSc

What you will study

You’ll begin by learning the fundamentals behind nanotechnology, before examining its implementation using nanomaterials – such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, 2D materials and perovskite solar cells.

You'll discover how advanced nanotechnology tools are used to allow us to see things at a nanoscale, while learning about future trends and applications for energy generation and storage. Topics include sustainable energy generation from solar, thermo electrics, piezo electrics, tribo electrics and hydrogen fuels cells, and storage with supercapacitors and batteries.

With a masters in renewable energy, you can take part in the clean energy revolution taking place today, where the decarbonising of energy is the number one priority around the world.
