Shimadzu UV-3600i with integrating sphere and diffuse reflectance unit

Edinburgh Instruments FS5 with integrating sphere, front face holder, TCSPC sources (EPLED320nm, EPL450nm), wavelength range: 190-980 nm

Measurement of pure absorption on liquid and solid samples in the wavelength range of 350-1100 nm. Mixing of light sources to prepare a homogeneous illumination which can be futher shaped open beam.

Material handling and syntheses of nanomaterials in inert atmosphere with the full exclusion of O2 and H2O.

Synthesis of nanomaterials being sensitive to ambient atmosphere. Degasing can be done in vacuum, while the syntheses are run in ultrapure argon atmosphere. 

Size, zeta potential and electrophoretic mobility distribution of colloidal samples

Benchtop electrochemical workstation equipped with mid-power pulsing LED and a PalmSens EmStat4x HR potentio/galvanostat/EIS. Photoelectrochemical processes and electrocatalytic transitions can be monitored in-situ. 

Lyophilization and supercritical drying of gel samples
