About Us

Group Inorganic Materials Science is supervised by Dr. Henk Verweij of  Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University.

The research program of our group focuses on materials, made by controlled consolidation of precursor particles, followed by thermal processing. These materials are applied in fuel cells for energy conversion, membranes for separation, and sensors for environmental applications.  The program is subdivided into:

• Materials chemistry for the preparation of well-dispersed sub-micron and nano-particles
• Multiscale device synthesis and characterization to realize the appropriate structural definition, stability and reproducibility
• Theory, modeling and design of transport properties in devices as mentioned to support system level optimization of the related application.

Our hallway has showcases with program overviews + samples.

• Nanoparticle synthesis
• Inorganic membranes
• Solid Oxide Fuel Cell
• Water purification
