Our lab is equipped with the following instruments and techniques:

  1. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for elemental analysis
    Shimadzu EDX-7200
  2. Surface area and porosity analysis
    Microtrac Belsorp Max X
  3. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
    TGA Discovery 5500
  4. UV-Vis spectrophotometer 
    PerkinElmer LAMBDA 365 spectrophotometer for UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy in the 190–1100 nm spectral range
  5. Photoluminescence Spectrometer (PL)
    Edinburgh Instruments FS5 spectrofluorometer equipped with a xenon lamp, a microsecond pulsed xenon flashlamp, and a bimodal CW/pulsed 980 nm CNI laser for steady-state and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy (MCS, µs–ms range). The system is fitted with a Hamamatsu R928P PMT detector (200–870 nm) and a Si photodiode for transmission measurements in the 200–1000 nm range. An Edinburgh Instruments SC-30 integrating sphere module is available for the determination of absolute photoluminescence quantum yields of luminophores in solution or solid state.
