Our lab is equipped with the following instruments and techniques:
- Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer for elemental analysis
Shimadzu EDX-7200 - Surface area and porosity analysis
Microtrac Belsorp Max X - Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
TGA Discovery 5500 - UV-Vis spectrophotometer
PerkinElmer LAMBDA 365 spectrophotometer for UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy in the 190–1100 nm spectral range - 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. - Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR)
