Physicochemistry of surfaces and catalysis for materials

562-3 Physicochemistry of surfaces and catalysis for materials Materials and Chemistry S7
Lessons : 14 h TD : 7 h TP : 6 h Project : 0 h Total : 27 h
Co-ordinator : Ludovic Pinard
Prerequisite
Thermodynamic level 1st year Engineering School and basics of Kinetics
Course Objectives
Understand the laws, not always intuitive that govern the reactivity of surfaces. From these bases, exploit the methods of characterizing the surfaces of divided and porous materials (texture, superficial composition..), the phenomena of nucleation and growth as well as the physical (transport) and chemical components ( Phys-and Chimi-sorption) which participate in the reactivity of the surface.
Syllabus
1. Reminders & Definitions
2. Physisorption and chemisorption
3. Mechanical and physico-chemical properties of surfaces (thermodynamic surfaces, relationships Young-Laplace & Kelvin, application to changes of phases & crystallization, wettability, superficial segregation...)
4. Methods of characterization of porous & divided solids
5. Kinetics of reactions and reactors
Practical work (TD or TP)
Non renseigné
Acquired skills
To address the various facets of nano-sciences &-Technologies with solid achievements and to be able to deepen the fundamental concepts learned in progress.
