Nota biograficzna:
Adriano Zecchina is full professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Turin. He is member of the Ownership board of PCCP and of the Editorial board of the Chemical Society Reviews. He has been awarded with the Bourke Medal of the Faraday Society and with the Fauser Plate of Italian Chemical Society. Currently he is directing the Centre of Excellence NIS (Nanostructured surfaces and interfaces). He is coauthor of about 450 papers published on international journals.
Silvia Bordiga is Professor in Physical Chemistry at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Turin. Her research is mainly devoted to the characterization of the physical–chemical properties of oxides, zeolites and MOFs with attention to their surface properties. She has co–authored more than 200 research and review papers in the fields of Chemistry and Material Science appeared in international journals which have received more than 5000 citations.
Elena Groppo received her degree in Material Science in 2002 and the PhD in Chemistry in 2006 at the University of Torino. Since December 2006 she has a PostDoc position at the University of Torino, concerning catalysts characterization by means of spectroscopic methods under in situ conditions.
