Programme

This symposium will be focused of novel synthesis processes and design of nanomaterials with finely tuned morphological, structural and compositional characteristics made to measure for particular catalytic applications. Relationship between the material tuning from the nano- to the macro-scale and the catalytic behavior, will be highlighted.
Amongst a huge variety of solid materials with finely tuned characteristics (morphological, structural, compositional, assembly, …) at the nanoscale, a lot of them are devoted to catalytic applications. The optimization of tailor-made nanomaterials with adequate macroscopic shaping and correlation with specific catalytic behaviors have gained an increased interest in the last years.
This symposium will try to present a state-of-the-art and recent progresses in the elaboration of the major kinds of tailor-made nanomaterials (metal oxides, carbon-based and related solids, metals, zeolites, …) made to measure and correlated with their catalytic properties. Special attention will be given to multi-functional composite materials associating at least two different classes of nanomaterials with specific properties. The importance of the nanostructuration, the particle assembly at the nanoscale, the presence of interfaces between active particles and supports or between the different phases of composite materials and the influence on catalytic properties will be widely discussed.
The processing of these tailored nanostructured materials, their hierachisation and upscaling to enable industrial purposes at medium or large scale is also a challenge, which will be pointed out. Focus will also be performed on how both material designs at the nano- and the macro-scale levels can influence the catalytic behavior. The target catalytic reactions will cover the whole spectra of catalysis, with a specific emphasis on environmental, energy and more generally sustainable development applications.
Special attention will be given to works combining original syntheses and macroscopic shaping elaboration, detailed characterizations and correlation with catalytic properties. Interdisciplinary contributions at the frontiers of chemistry, issued from various research fields, will be welcome and encouraged.
