Trosolwg

Mae Ashley Willow, BSc Cemeg, MSc Catalyddion a PhD Electrocemeg, yn Uwch Ddarlithydd ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe mewn adran Peirianneg Cemegol. Mae e'n canolbwyntio ei ymchwil ar ddeal batris Sodiwm, Lithiwm a'r rhai sy'n ei alw yn "heb-anod (anode-free)". Mae cefndir ddiwydianol gyda Ashley mewn adeiladu batris aml-haenol ac wedi dod a hynnu at Brifysgol Abertwae gan sefydlu cyfleusterau cynhyrchu celloedd silindrog a chod yma ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Mae e'n hefyd yn canolbwyntio ar ddeal y problemau o cynuddu maint a fformat y batris o rhai sydd yn fel arfer yn cael eu cynhyrchu mewn sefudliadau ymchwil a datblygu. Cyn gwiethio ym Prifysgol Abertwae, wneath e dreulio sawl flwyddyn yn gweithio yn y maesydd batris lithiwm sylffwr ac yr electrocemeg o ddur. Ar hyn o bryd, mae'n trefnu'r cynhadledd rhyngladol Batris Sodiwm (STRIKE) yma ym Mhrifysgol Abertawe. Mae e'n arwain yr ymdrechion ar batris sodiwm heb-anode, sydd wedi arwain at byddsoddiad privat, wedi cyflwyno'n rhyngwladol ar ei ymchwil ac wedi cyhoeddi yn y maesydd batris, celloedd danwydd a deunyddiau thermotrydanol.

EG-290 Order and Disorder in Materials

Introduction to order in materials-single crystals and polycrystalline powders. Understanding of the basic principles of crystallography and the factors governing atomic arrangements through defined examples of crystal structures of elements, ionic compounds, interstitial and substitutional solid solutions. The importance of powder diffraction for the characterisation of materials and examples of its application. Introduction to imperfections in crystals and the concept of disorder rather than defects (i.e. positive and negative effects of disorder). Disorder will be considered around 0-dimensional point defects (impurities and vacancies), 1-dimensional line defects (dislocations), 2-dimensional planar defects (interfaces and grain boundaries) and 3-dimensional defects (particulate) . The positive and negative effects of defects on different types of crystalline materials; and how understanding can lead to control. Case studies of real-life examples of disorder will be used to illustrate the concepts through the module.
EGA109 Chemistry for Engineers

The module introduces the basic principles of chemistry to Engineers. It covers a wide range of topics ranging from reactions in organic and inorganic compounds to the physicochemical properties of compounds. We will also explore the principles of thermodynamics and chemical kinetics in chemical reactions.
