Teaching Assistant: Zahra Ghazizahedi (Ph.D. Candidate)
Prerequisite: -
Description: Characterization, identification, and analysis of nano-porous and nano-structure materials using quantitative instruments. XRF, XRD, TEM and BET instrumental techniques for identification and analysis of nano related materials with emphasis on application of instrumental analysis. Method description, data analysis and instrument details with lab visit.
Major Goals

           1) Help the attendants to understand the principles and limitations of instrumental analysis of nano materials in the lab.

          2) Providing the attendants with quantitative techniques for pores and morphology analysis  of nano materials.

Objectives: This workshop aims at helping the attendants get a good idea about the following items:

  1. How to define nano-porous and nano-structure materials using clay as an example
  2. Procedure of designing and implementing valid methods for sampling, preparation and treatment of nano-materials intended for XRD, SEM and BET analysis.
  3. Method of analyzing instrumental data based on instrument tests.
  4. Using XRD analysis along with basal-spacing concepts for nano-structure characterization.
  5. Using SEM analysis along with microscopy concepts to typical nano-particles.
  6. How to apply nitrogen adsorption concepts to typical nano-pores analysis using BET instrument.
  7. Method of analyzing XRD diffraction patterns using X’pertHighScore software.
  8. Practically showing the process of analyzing nano-porous materials in BET lab.
  9. Practically showing the process of analyzing nano-structure materials in XRD lab.
