Course

ChE-430: Nanomaterials for chemical engineering application

Summary

This course provides an overview on nanoparticle synthesis and their use in different energy-related applications. The first part of the course is more fundamental and chemistry oriented. The second part is more applied and chemical engineering oriented. The goal is to link the two aspects.
