Colloids, Surfaces and Catalysis

CEITEC VUT-DS204AAk. rok: 2013/2014

PhD course is focused on selected topics in physical chemistry of heterogeneous systems containing solid phase with an active surface such as colloidal nanoparticle systems and heterogeneous inorganic catalysts. The course aims to broaden students' knowledge in the field of colloid chemistry of inorganic nanoparticle systems and heterogeneous chemocatalysis, electrocatalysis and biocatalysis with inorganic nanoparticle catalysts.
