6 LPunregelmäßigEN

Voraussetzungen

Empfohlen, im Wortlaut

• Knowledge of solid state physics and chemistry based on a Bachelor study course in physics

Inhalte

• Heterogeneous catalysis: history and fundamentals • Kinetics and elementary steps • Testing of catalysts • In-situ and operando characterization of real and model catalysts • Computational catalysis • Reaction and process engineering • Industrial and renewable energy applications • Photo- and electrocatalysis • Novel trends in nanocatalysis

Lernziele

After successfully completing the module, the students have a sound understanding of the basic concepts and the essential experimental techniques of heterogeneous nanocatalysis. Building on the topics of this module, they master methods for gaining knowledge, the classification of physical findings in the overall context and the networking of individual results. In addition, the students can use social competences such as the ability to cooperate as well as further individual competences such as accuracy, patience, curiosity, initiative, etc. of the students.
