Main scientific direction:
Development of well defined inorganic materials for chemical and physical sensors on the base of complexe oxides, vanadates and phosphates.History:
The Laboratory was founded in 1995 by Acad. Yu.D. Tretyakov. The laboratory staff carries out fundamental research on gas sensors on the base of SnO2; chemistry and technology of scandium; chemistry of complex oxides of zirconium, hafnium and rare-earth elements; chemistry of complex phosphates, vanadates, arsenates and tellurates of rare earths, gallium and scandium.Laboratory structure:
