Course objectives

The aims of the subject is to acquire deeper knowledge about applications of nanostructured materials and technologies of their preparation.

Learning outcomes

Student will be able:
To assess why nanostructured materials and nanoparticles are suitable for selected nanotechnologies. To orient in the field of nanomaterials for diagnostics, sensors, optoelectronics, catalysis, photocatalysis, photovoltaics, .... To propose methods for the preparation of nanoparticles, their characterization and the technique of investigation of their properties.

Syllabus

• 1. Classification of nanostructured materials. Zero-dimensional nanostructures (nanoparticles, nanoclusters, quantum dots, nanoalloys, ...). One-dimensional nanostructures (carbon nanotubes, nanowires, …). Two-Dimensional nanostructures (nanoplates, nanosheets, graphen, nanolayers, …). Nanomaterials and nano composites with repeated pattern (nanoporous structures, dendritic nanostructures, …). 2. Nanostructures, nanoparticles and their difference with respect to bulk materials.
