Abstract:

This presentation will cover recent progress in the development and application of solid-state NMR techniques for characterizing surface chemistry. Several technological important systems, such as "ship-in-a-bottle" synthesis in zeolite, chemical immobilization on polymer surface and environmental pollutant-soil interactions, have been investigated by multinuclear solid- state NMR spectroscopy. An in situ sold-state NMR technique, GRASSHopper, has been introduced to study heterogeneous catalysis under flowing conditions.
