Mechanismen in der Photokatalyse, Klausur

What it is about

You will learn the physical and chemical fundamentals of photocatalysis as well as the common photocatalytic materials. Topics include, among others, heterogeneous and homogeneous systems, semiconductor physical concepts, plasmonics, measurement methods, reaction mechanisms, light-harvesting systems, charge transport at interfaces and chemical surface reactions as well as applications in renewable energies. By the end you will be able to analyze the underlying mechanisms, critically evaluate research results and develop proposals for experimental procedures.

What you will be able to do

• Analyze current questions in photocatalysis and renewable energies
• Evaluate and critically classify research results
• Develop your own experimental proposals and procedures
• Transfer concepts from the literature to new applications
• Assess catalytic material conversion under light influence

What the module consists of
