Nanostructuring of materials provides access to new combinations of physical properties. In this field, the group's current focus is on sol-gel-based nanoporous materials which have, both, a three-dimensionally interlinked solid phase and a three-dimensionally interconnected pore phase. Parameters which can be adjusted with regard to different applications are the chemical composition of the solid phase (currently: silica, organic/inorganic hybrids, organic materials, and carbons derived therefrom), the total porosity, the average pore size and pore size distribution, the specific surface area, and the properties of micropores ( < 2 nm) present.
In this field, the Nanomaterials group is involved in the following topics:
