Teaching/Course

Material Chemistry and Energy Laboratory is recognized as Lab-based education (LBE). The LBE implies that the laboratory and its members comprehensively integrate the teaching process in the class with the current research updates in the lab. Below are several courses that are facilitated by MCE Lab and/or involve the MCE Lab members in the course development or teaching process. 

In this course, students will learn about the basic concepts of catalysts and catalytic reactions, kinetics, and catalytic reaction mechanisms, catalyst energetics, and catalytic reactions, preparation, characterization, activity test, and catalyst selectivity. In this lecture, a practicum is also carried out which is an application of a concept that has been given or is part of a thesis research and a practicum report under the thesis format.

In this course, students will learn about earth phenomena related to the distribution of elements, minerals and mineral occurrences. In addition, it also discusses the properties and associations of minerals so that students can explain the formation of minerals in nature.

In this course, students will learn about the types of chemicals commonly used in the chemical industry and industries related to chemicals, as well as chemicals that have high economic potential. Students will also learn about the chemical cycle system, estimate the cost components required in the chemical industry to determine the unit product sale value, challenges in the chemical industry and plan and start small industries in the chemical sector.

This course will lead students to the ability to apply membrane science and technology to solve science and technology problems related to membrane materials, such as industry, energy, health, food processing, the environment, provision of clean and drinking water, and processing of natural resources. At the beginning of the lecture, students will be given knowledge about the application of membranes in industry and daily life, as well as the development of membrane materials in the future, so that it is hoped that students will be able to identify real problems that can be solved with membrane technology. The problem will then become a topic in the group assignment which will be resolved through 4 stages according to the Membrane Chemistry course material and ends with a final presentation assignment and a paper on solving science and technology problems by applying membrane design and technology.

Solid Chemistry is an in-depth overview of the concepts related to the synthesis, structure, bonding, reactivity and physical properties of materials in the solid phase. In this lecture, these concepts will be presented in detail, and accompanied by an explanation of the methods used to prepare and characterize these solid materials. Furthermore, the latest developments, for example, nanotubes and related structures such as graphene, metal organic frameworks and Fe-based high temperature superconductors will also be presented. Following the Solid Substance Chemistry course is an important stage for students who will have a career in science and the materials industry

In this course students learn Storage, Transport and Biomineralization of Transition Metals, Reaction Pathways for Zinc Enzymes and Related Biological Catalysts, Calcium in Biological Systems, Synthetic and Biological Oxygen Carriers, Oxygen Reactions, Electron Transfer, Ferredoxins, Hydrogenases and Nitrogenases: Metal-Sulfides , Proteins, Metal / Nucleic Acid Interactions, Metals in Medicine.

In this course, students will study the advanced synthesis process of inorganic materials, including the fundamental knowledge of the reaction. The course materials includes solid state reaction, solid formation from gas phase precursors, solid formation from solution and melts, preparation and modification of inorganic polymers, and inorganic synthesis using templated-methods.

This course will specifically discuss about porous-materials-related knowledge, which includes the structure, properties, and applications of metal-organic frameworks, mesoporous silicates, regular porous metal oxides, carbon, and zeolite. Recent developments in porous materials are also discussed.

This course discusses advanced processing concepts to improve the reliability of ceramics, wet forming processes, electronic ceramic manufacturing processes, composite ceramic processes, thin film deposition processes for electronics, nanoceramic processes, ceramic membrane processes, and structured ceramics.

This course contains the fundamental of Carbon materials, engineering, and application of carbon materials, carbon materials for advanced technology

This course contains membrane materials and processes in the membrane which includes microfiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, pervaporation, dialysis, gas separators and their applications in the fields of energy, environment, health, and food; a review of membrane synthesis methods both inorganic membranes as well as organic polymer membranes; case studies of separation and purification problems; literature study in the development of membrane material synthesis methods as efforts to provide alternative ideas on the problem of separation and purification; conclusion of the review of the membrane material synthesis method.
