Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with theoretical fundamentals and physical background and principles of the most used spectroscopic methods for characterization of heterogeneous catalysts. In addition to the theoretical backgrounds of individual methods, students will be introduced to experimental procedures, to good laboratory practice in sample preparation and pre-treatment, to the evaluation of acquired data and to practical examples of the use of the given experimental technique from current scientific studies and publications. Characterization techniques included in the course are: structural analysis using diffraction techniques, analysis of texture properties by physical adsorption, electron microscopy, temperature programmed techniques, photoelectron and Auger spectroscopy, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectroscopy and calorimetric and thermoanalytical techniques.
The student will gain an overview of ex-situ, in-situ and operando spectroscopic techniques used in the study of catalysts and catalytic processes.
