| Publisher Description: This 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. Topics covered include inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, solution chemistry, sol-gel and interface science, acid-base equilibria, electrochemistry, biochemistry and confined synthesis. |
Contributor Bio(s): Lu, An-Hui: - 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.Zhao, Dongyuan: - Dongyuan Zhao received his BS and MS in chemistry from Jilin University. He obtained his PhD in 1990 from Jilin University and Dalian Institute Chemical Physics. In 1992-1993, he was a visiting scholar at the Department of Chemistry, University of Regina and later carried out his postdoctoral research at the Weizmann Institute of Science (1993-1994), University of Houston (1995-1996), and University of California at Santa Barbara (1996-1998). He is now a Professor (Cheung Kong Professorship) in the Department of Chemistry at Fudan University. His current research interests include synthesis, structural characterization and application on ordered porous materials, such as mesoporous materials, zeolites, and coordination polymers. |
