Chemistry of Inorganic Materials with Lab
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
Structure, preparation, properties and applications of important inorganic materials will be studied in this course. Basic laboratory techniques will also be introduced for the synthesis and the characterisation of inorganic materials.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be able to handle the most common inorganic materials and find the most suitable analytical technique for solve qualitative and quantitative characterization.
