properties of nanoporous and nanostructural materials
Purpose:
Formation and characterisation methods, thermodynamic and kinetic stability
of the nanoporous and nanostructural materials will be discussed. Application
possibilities of nanoporous and nanostructural materials will be characterised.
Summary:
Classification of porous materials and methods of the characterisation
of porous systems (by electronmiscroscopy, STM, AFM, transmission electron
microscopy, X-ray-diffraction, gas adsorption measurements, Hg-porosimetry,
adsorption of organic compounds from gas phase) will be discussed. Some
general models used for characterisation of the nanostructural materials
(porosity, surface roughness and energetic inhomogeneity, fractality) will
be discussed. The methods and conditions for preparation of the nanoporous
and nanostructural materials will be characterised. The main properties
of micro-, meso- and nanoporous materials will be given. Influence of the
three-base-boundary parameters on the catalytic and electrocatalytic behaviour
of reactions will be discussed. Some modern electrochemical devices based
on nanoporous and nanostructural materials (supercapacitors, fuel cells,
Li-ion batteries, electrically conducting polymers, solid electrolytes)
will be characterised.
