| Course Description: |
|
This course will serve as the core course for the graduate students with research interests in catalysis, materials chemistry, inorganic chemistry and chemical engineering. It covers the structure, synthesis and controllable functional modification related to the ordered and disordered inorganic porous materials. Also covered, will be the modern analytical techniques for characterization of these porous materials.
Successful completion of this course will allow the students to gain a fundamental understanding of the basic concepts and natures of the inorganic porous materials, and employ the technical terminology to fulfill their future scientific research in this field. |
