Sustainable Materials for Energy Storage
Välkommen till Mittuniversitetet!
Hello!
A warm welcome to the course Sustainable Materials for Energy Storage and as a student at Mid Sweden University.
My name is Assoc. Prof. Magnus Hummelgård, I together with my colleges have created this one semester study package. It was made with the intention to accelerate master students directly into a research-oriented mindset with a combination of two introductory courses that gives the most fundamentals needed for materials characterization and battery technology competence and two project oriented research courses.
- Kursplan inkl. litteraturlista:

First when it comes to international relations related questions, such as accommodation, traveling and other similar questions you will be contacted by our International Relationship Office IRO.
Start by making a student login account by following the guide at the end of this page then you should be able to login to our main webpage www.miun.se/student
Also check the syllabus for the four courses of this course package at https://www.miun.se/en/education/show-syllabus/ by searching for the four course codes: FY026A, TF015A, TF007A, and TF008A.
There is an accompanying course webpage with further course related information. This you reach via our online teaching system Canvas at canvas.miun.se .You can also click your way forward via the main student webpage www.miun.se/student
Schedule
Four weeks before the beginning of the course you will get access to your schedule at, Schedule. Can't find the schedule? Then your teacher may have published it in the learning platform Moodle.The time and place/link for your teaching can be found in your schedule.
Please note that the timetable may be updated until the beginning of the course and even after that if something unforeseen happens.
Utbildningsinformation
Students starts the semester by taking a survey course in TF015A Battery Technology, 7.5 credits (ECTS), to become familiar with different types of battery concepts, this includes besides traditional electrochemistry topics, also cell designs, recycling, and general overview of sustainability aspects.
Parallel to this, students are taking a course in FY026A Materials Characterization 7.5 credits (ECTS), an overview course of the most common characterization methods found in materials research, this includes different types of electron microscopy methods, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy methods etc. The purpose of this course is to train students in the fundamentals of instrumental methods, so they be able to orient themself and decide on proper methods to implement later in their own project work. Part of this course is also the startup of the project work in which the student with the help of using some of the instruments mentioned in the course do an initial investigation in a materials related topic chosen by student, this can include, if suitable, dedicated instrumental training or similar if needed by the project.
After these two courses the first project-oriented course, TF007A Project I in Materials Science 6 credits (ECTS), follows in which students are trained in the research perspective. In this course, the students build up the literature background of the project, provides a research plan and do the initial experiments of the concepts of the chosen topic and aim is to find plausible and best route forward for the chosen scientific problem to be solved. The project work is supervised by a senior researcher. The research plan and the initial findings are presented both orally and in written form.
The following project course, TF008A Project II in Materials Science, 9 credits (ECTS), students continue and finalize their research work according to their research plan. This course can optionally be carried out fully or partially at the home university if the research topic chosen is suitable for that and resources are available and seen as fruitful according to the research plan. This course ends with a written scientific report and presented jointly orally in a webinar for both participating universities.
Before you can begin your studies, there are three things you need to do
1. Create a student account
As a new student, you need to create a student account to get access to the university´s e-services, such as Ladok, where you can register for courses and examinations, see your study results, and access the University Library´s e-services, as well as the learning platform Moodle.
Please note that the earliest date to create your student account is 20 days before the beginning of the course (spring term) or 30 days before the begging of the course (autumn term).
If you have a Swedish personal identification number (format: yyyymmdd e.g., 198101201111) you can verify your identity using EduID. International students without a Swedish identity number must verify their identity using Antagning.se.
