RESEARCH GROUP OF INORGANIC MATERIALS AND COMPLEXES
Group Leader: Prof. Dr.rer.nat. Risfidian Mohadi, M.Si. and Prof. Aldes Lesbani, Ph.D
The Inorganic Materials and Complexes Research Group is a dynamic team within the Master Program of Materials Science at Universitas Sriwijaya, dedicated to the exploration, development, and characterization of inorganic-based materials. Our research spans a wide range of topics including nanomaterials, layered materials, porpous materials, and crystalline compounds.
By integrating fundamental science with advanced experimental techniques, we aim to contribute to innovative solutions in energy, environment, and advanced functional materials. The group also actively collaborates with academic, industrial, and government institutions to foster interdisciplinary research and real-world applications.
We welcome students, researchers, and collaborators who share our passion for advancing inorganic material science and technology.
Research Focus
The group’s core research areas include, but are not limited to:
- Synthesis of inorganic compounds, such as layered material, porous material, coordination compounds and other functional materials.
- Characterization of structure and properties using advanced analytical tools such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, etc.
- Development of nanostructured materials with specific applications in catalysis, environmental remediation, and energy storage.
- Study of crystalline materials and solid-state chemistry, with emphasis on phase formation, thermal stability, and functional performance.
Our research outputs aim to bridge the gap between fundamental materials science and practical application, particularly in the fields of:
- Photocatalysis and heterogeneous catalysis
- Wastewater treatment using inorganic adsorbents
Vision and Mission
Our vision is to become a nationally and internationally recognized research group in the field of inorganic materials with impactful contributions to science, technology, and society.
Our mission includes:
- Advancing fundamental understanding of inorganic materials and their behavior.
- Producing high-quality research outputs published in reputable scientific journals.
- Providing a collaborative environment for graduate students to develop strong research skills.
- Engaging in partnerships with industries and research institutions both in Indonesia and abroad.
Collaborations and Opportunities
The group actively encourages multidisciplinary collaboration with researchers from basic science fields such as chemistry, physics, environmental science, and engineering. We also provide opportunities for graduate students and early-career researchers to participate in funded projects, seminars, workshops, and scientific publications.
For Students and Researchers
Members of the Inorganic Materials Research Group benefit from hands-on laboratory training, one-on-one research supervision, and access to modern instrumentation. The group is also open to hosting visiting researchers and accepting collaboration proposals related to inorganic material development.
