Mesostructured Films

Nanostructuring of materials will lead to improved physico-chemical properties. In this project, thin, crystalline metal oxide coatings with pores in the range of approx. 5 nm - 30 nm (so-called “mesopores”) are produced using sol-gel chemistry in combination with micellar self-organization. A key goal is to answer the fundamental question of how nanostructuring affects physical properties. For this reason, methods are being developed to achieve high regularity in the arrangement of the mesopores.
