    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    Porous organic materials are a class of materials with permanent porosity consisting only of carbon and other light elements, such as H, O, N and S. Their metal-free structures presents some exciting prospects for sustainability and a move toward sustainable functional materials.

    Porous organic materials can take the form of multi-dimensional porous networks built via strong covalent linkages between various organic building blocks or discreet individual "cage-like" molecules. By bottom-up design of porour organic materials, different geometries, topologies and chemistries are obtained. The field of porous organic materials is growing rapidly owing to a wealth of potential applications including but not limited to separation and storage, catalysis/photocatalysis, medicinal applications, and energy storage.

    We will cover a weath of porous organic materials ranging from microporous (pore diameter <2nm) to mesoporous (2-50 nm) and macroporous (>50 nm). Material synthesis, relevance and application will be covered in the course content.

    Assessment and permitted materials

    Oral examination with individual appointment - up to 2 students at a time. Typically 30-60 minutes. In the case of Covid-19 restrictions exams will be conducted online.

    Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

    At least three questions per student. For a pass grade more than half of the questions should be answered correctly.

    Examination topics

    Lecture content:

    Classes of porous organic materials, their synthesis, unique properties, and potential applications. What improvements are required? How can porous organic materials offer advantages over conventional materials. Future outlook.
