  • ·        The quality of energy
  • ·        Renewable energy sources
  • ·        Energy density, Specific energy and The efficiency of an energy transfer
  • ·        An electrochemical cell
  • ·        The voltage of a battery depends primarily on the nature of the materials used while the    total work that can be obtained from it depends on their quantity.
  • ·        A fuel cell can be used to convert chemical energy
  • ·        The Nernst equation




Throughout the topic, they will develop the understandings of chemistry, applications of the chemistry knowledge and skills, their international mindedness and theory of knowledge.
