INSIDE-PORES
IN-SItu study and DEvelopment of processes involving nano-PORE Solids
Project co-ordinator: National Center for Scientific Research "Demokritos“, Greece
Contact Person (in Romania): Dr. Monica Caldararu - Institute of Physical Chemistry “I.G. Murgulescu” Romanian Academy
Project summary: INSIDE_POReS NoE aims at the congregation of diverse expertise in the nanoporous materials field in order to develop methodologies for the "in situ" application of both static and dynamic techniques and their combinations as a tool to probe the evolution of properties, which are relevant to specific processes that involve nanoporous solids (14 partners)
Objectives:
INSIDE-PORES mission is “to develop methodologies for the in-situ application of both static and dynamic techniques and their combinations as a tool to probe the evolution of properties, which are relevant to specific processes that involve nanoporous solids, to greatly contribute to the extensive distribution of the relevant scientific knowledge and for INSIDE-PORES to become a focal point for scientists and technicians working in the field of porous materials”
ICF tasks, Group of heterogeneous chemical kinetics (Dr. Monica Caldararu)
- Surface dynamics under the influence of operating conditions of catalysts powders or other materials (including ceramics) by AC in situ (“operando”) electrical conductivity measurements (differential step technique DST) - A special cell consisting of two coaxial cylindrical electrodes with powder as the dielectric coupled with monitoring on- line the exit gases;
- Evaluation of mobility / thermal stability on the surface of weakly adsorbed molecules by studies on variation of the apparent dielectric constant of powders in operando conditions (by in situ capacitance measurements) under adsorption/desorption of various gases);
