New Lab Equipment Installation
January 20, 2025
We are excited to announce the installation of a state-of-the-art X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS) in our laboratory. This equipment will enhance our capabilities for surface analysis of electrochemical materials.
The new XPS system features a high-resolution monochromatic X-ray source, angle-resolved measurements, and in-situ electrochemical cells, allowing us to study electrode-electrolyte interfaces under realistic operating conditions.
This acquisition was made possible through university funding and a generous donation from the Smith Foundation.
