Quantachrome Autosorb (Automated Gas Sorption for BET Analysis)
The Quantachrome Autosorb automated gas sorption system is used for quantitative BET surface area measurements and pore size distribution analysis of powders, electrodes, and porous materials. It enables high-precision characterization of surface properties critical for correlating structure–property relationships in catalysts, battery materials, and porous solids.
AJA Magnetron Sputtering System
The AJA International magnetron sputtering system is configured with three RF guns and two DC guns, along with three independent reactive gas lines, enabling multi-material thin-film deposition, alloy formation, and reactive sputtering (e.g., oxides, nitrides). This system supports precise control over film composition, thickness, and microstructure for device fabrication and surface engineering studies with the ability to transfer air-sensitive samples through a glove box.
Furnaces (Muffle, Tube, Vacuum Furnaces, Hot Air Oven)
The laboratory houses a combined suite of high-temperature processing equipment, including muffle furnaces, tube furnaces, vacuum furnaces, and a hot-air oven, enabling controlled thermal treatments under ambient, inert, or reduced-pressure environments. These furnaces support solid-state synthesis, calcination, sintering, annealing, and drying of materials across a wide temperature range.
Glove Boxes
Three dedicated glove boxes are maintained for air- and moisture-sensitive processing of liquid electrolytes, sulfide solid electrolytes, and garnet-based solid electrolytes. This segregation minimizes cross-contamination and degradation, enabling reliable synthesis, handling, cell assembly, and interfacial studies of highly reactive battery materials under controlled inert atmospheres.
Potentiostats and Battery Test Systems
The electrochemical testing infrastructure includes a 400-channel LAND Testing system for high-throughput cycling, a high-frequency single-channel Gamry Instruments potentiostat for advanced impedance and mechanistic studies, a five-channel Bio-Logic system for precision electrochemical measurements, and a nine-channel Princeton Applied Research unit for parallel testing and diagnostics.
Ball Mills
Planetary ball milling using the Retsch PM100 and PM200, together with high-energy mixing using the SPEX SamplePrep 8000M Mixer/Mill, enables controlled particle size reduction, mechanical alloying, and homogeneous mixing of solid precursors. These systems support reproducible powder processing for solid-state synthesis, composite electrode preparation, and mechanochemical reactions across a wide range of materials systems.
