E-MRS Spring 2012 - Symposium S

Novel materials for hetereogeneous catalysis

 Full Program Sympo S 359.96 Kb

Catalysis is an important field of chemistry that has an enormous impact on industrial processes and environmental technology. In this direction, novel materials show great potential and open new perspectives to new catalytic processes for industrial and academic research.

Scope

The aim of this symposium is to establish a platform between material sciences and catalytic applications. Particular interest will be paid to rational, novel and systematic synthesis of materials with catalytic properties. The symposium will focus its attention in nano- and single site materials.

Hot topics to be covered by the symposium  

The symposium will be divided into four sessions (topics described below), each sponsored from a defined company and with a prominent invited lecture (vide infra). The sessions will be distributed within one day (two in the morning and two in the afternoon).

1. Engineering of single site heterogeneous catalysts with defined pore structure (Aldrich session)

• Metal-Organic Fameworks (MOFs)
• Single site materials

2. Nano oxides for catalysis (Hiden Analytical session)

• Role of site and geometry (structure, vacancies, oxidation state, shape)
• Fine chemical synthesis
• Operando characterization

3. Systematic  screening of novel materials (HTE session)

• Alternative materials to noble metals (carbide and sulfide)
• High throughput synthesis and screening

4. From theory to application

• Novel approachs unveil by theoretical calculations
• Success cases of the synergy between theory and application
• Rational design of catalysts
