Project
Optimization of the structure-activity relation in nanoporous materials.
The relation between structure and activity will be optimized for two classes of nanoporous materials: TiO2 nanotubes combined with Ag nanoparticles and Periodic Mesoporous Organosilica's. This will be done based on a multidisciplinary approach combining advanced 3-dimensional imaging with modern computational methods at an atomic scale. This will lead to a more direct optimization of the synthesis and activity of the nanoporous materials in comparison to the classic trial-and-error procedures.
