Syllabus
Basic concepts of nanochemistry, synthesis methods (top-down and bottom-up) such as lithography, sol-gel, hydrothermal, self-assembly, crystal growth, etc. Advance synthesis and modifications of nanomaterials (organic functionalization, shape and morphology controlled synthesis), basic and advance tools (XRD, TEM, EDS, AFM, gas adsorption, etc) to characterize nanomaterials. Unique properties of metal nanoparticles. Use of mean and standard deviation formula for nanoparticle size measurement, green synthesis of nanomaterials, potential applications of nanomaterials, nanocatalysis: metal and metal oxide nanostructures, structure-activity relationships, effect of size, shape, composition and morphology, catalytic activity measurements (TON and TOFs, etc), porous materials as catalyst supports.
