About

About the course

Course content

The course is given every second year, next time in Fall 2010.
The reactions in heterogeneous catalysis take place on the surfaces of solid materials such as metals, metal oxides and zeolites. The surface properties are determining the catalyst activity, selectivity and lifetime. Advanced methods for characterizing solid surfaces and adsorbed species are therefore valuable for the understanding of catalytic reactions.
This subject gives an overview of the most common characterisation techniques and a detailed introduction to the application of the techniques on catalytic systems. Both chemical and spectroscopic methods are discussed.
In situ methods emphasized in the course.
