Lab Equipment and Experimental Systems
Our lab is equipped with a variety of custom-built optical and electrochemical-optical systems, spectroscopy equipment, scanning probe microscopes, and in situ reaction cells to probe optical, nano-, and biological materials and catalysts under different conditions. We also have several plasma systems for nanomaterial synthesis, materials modification, and chemical conversion, as well as additional equipment for characterization, catalytic testing, electrochemistry, materials deposition, and fabrication of all kinds.
