KJM9100 – Synthesis of Inorganic Materials

Course content

This course provides an introduction to the synthesis of inorganic and hybrid materials using a variety of techniques, both traditional inorganic methods and the use of organometallic precursors. The methods reviewed are: ceramic synthesis, flux growth, combustion methods, hydrothermal method, chemical gas transport, CVD, sol-gel precursor methods, intercalation, mild methods, electrochemical methods, and synthesis of inorganic polymers. It will be taught how the methods shape the final product, ranging from amorphous materials to large single crystals, and special forms of nanomaterials, porous materials, and thin films. This course is suitable for Ph.D. candidates?who have tasks where the synthesis of inorganic materials are required.
