| Learning Outcome: | After completing this module, students will be able to investigate the course of heterogeneously catalysed reactions by linking knowledge from inorganic, physical and organic chemistry. They will be able to describe the structure and mode of action of important catalyst systems and characterise important catalyst types. Through self-study of original scientific literature, students will be able to understand German and English texts and reflect on their content in the context of the lecture material. In addition, students will have acquired further personal skills relevant to their degree programme through communicative interaction in seminars. |
