Facilities


Shimadzu UV-VIS-NIR Spectrophotometer (with integrating sphere)

We can carry out absorbance, transmission, and diffuse reflectance measurements on solutions, films, and powders.

CH Instruments 660E Electrochemical Workstation

This workstation is used for all electrochemical and photoelectrochemical experiments. This system is capable of measuring current scales from 10-1 to 10-12 amps.

Thermo Lindberg Blue Furnace

Our furnace is capable of temperatures up to 1100 oC and is equipped with a gas inlet pipe to allow control of the annealing atmosphere. Its temperature controller also allows for careful control of single and multi-step programs for ramping and dwell temperatures and rates.

Symphony pH Meter

pH meter used for determining pH of reaction, electrochemical, and photoelectrochemical solutions.

Horiba Scientific / OBB 75W Xe Lamp

Xe lamp used for photochemical and photoelectrochemical measurements. With proper filters, this lamp's light output can closely approximate the solar spectrum.
