Nanocasting (eBook, PDF)

A Versatile Strategy for Creating Nanostructured Porous Materials

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Nanostructured materials with tailored properties are regarded as a fundamental element in the development of future science and technology. Research is still ongoing into the nanosized construction elements required to create functional solids. The recently developed technique, nanocasting, has great advantage over others in terms of the synthesis of special nanostructured materials by the careful choice of suitable elements and nanoengineering steps. This new book summarizes the recent developments in nanocasting, including the principles of nanocasting, syntheses of novel nanostructured materials, characterization methods, detailed synthetic recipes and further possible development in this area. The book focuses on the synthesis of porous solids from the viewpoint of methodology and introduces the science of nanocasting from fundamental principles to their use in synthesis of various materials. It starts by outlining the principles of nanocasting, requirements to the templates and precursors and the tools needed to probe matter at the nanoscale level. It describes how to synthesize nano structured porous solids with defined characteristics and finally discusses the functionalization and application of porous solids. Special attention is given to new developments in this field and future perspectives. A useful appendix covering the detailed synthetic recipes of various templates including porous silica, porous carbon and colloidal spheres is included which will be invaluable to researchers wanting to follow and reproduce nanocast materials. Topics covered in the book include: * inorganic chemistry * organic chemistry * solution chemistry * sol-gel and interface science * acid-base equilibria * electrochemistry * biochemistry * confined synthesis The book gives readers not only an overview of nanocasting technology, but also sufficient information and knowledge for those wanting to prepare various nanostructured materials without needing to search the available literature.

Autorenporträt

An-Hui Lu studied Chemical Engineering at Taiyuan University of Technology (China), where he received his B.S. in 1996. In 2001 he received his Ph. D. from the Institute of Coal Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. After post-doctoral (as Max-Planck research fellow and Alexander von Humboldt fellow) work in the group of F. Schüth at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung, he was promoted to group leader in 2005. He got the Brian Kelly Award in 2006. His research interests include synthesis and functionalisation of nanostructured materials and magnetically separable catalysts, and the use of these materials in heterogeneous catalytic reactions.
