CHE 510LEC - Adv Inorganic Chem Topics

This course will review the structure and properties of inorganic materials that are relevant for real world applications such as electronics, energy conversion, gas storage, and catalysis. Specifically, the course will include discussion of ceramics, layered compounds, porous materials, semiconductors, superconductors, and magnetic materials. Elements of solid-state chemistry and physics will be discussed, and important characterization techniques such as X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy will be addressed. The role of finite size will be discussed with reference to recent advances in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
