Abstract Scope |
The synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials has been revolutionized by the impact of chemical approaches that allow us to precisely tune the size, composition, morphology, and microstructure of the solid-state materials produced. In particular, tuning the morphological features of a material has emerged as an important strategy to improve its catalytic/photocatalytic performance, and there has been extensive research to develop highly active ceramic systems rationally designed with a controlled shape and an ordered porosity at the nano/microscale.
This talk will focus on the importance of tuning the morphological features of a catalyst as a strategy to improve its photoactivity, focusing on how rationally designing inorganic nanomaterials can lead to physico-chemical and optical properties able to enhance the performance in industrially and environmentally important processes.
The talk will discuss some environmental and energy-related applications that can be addressed by multi-component systems highlighting their structure-reactivity relationship. |
