Advanced characterization of nanostructured materials

Line of research

Several nanostructured materials, used for different applications, can be characterized with the following physico-chemical techniques: X-ray Diffraction (XRD), physi- and chemi-sorption of gases to determine specific surface area and porosity, UV-vis DRS spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy.
