Inorganic
materials are widely used in the heterogeneous catalysis and separation fields
because of their ability to provide competitive and inexpensive solutions
either as catalytic materials, support for catalytic materials or
membranes/adsorbents for separation. Optimization and discovery of new
catalytic nanoparticles, improved textured supports, selective membranes and
adsorbents are the primary targets of the Inorganic Synthesis Laboratory.
Available equipment for synthesis and characterization of materials
The
Inorganic Synthesis lab is fully equipped to undertake any kind of inorganic
materials synthesis from sol-gel chemistry, synthesis in micro-emulsion,
colloidal synthesis, hydrothermal synthesis and solid-state synthesis.
