Our lab expands over 1500 square feet of laboratory space and is equipped with six fume-hoods for wet chemistry, ample bench space, one argon glovebox, and a well-integrated gas delivery infrastructure.
The major equipment pertinent to the research available in the laboratory includes but is not limited to: an Argon-atmosphere glovebox, Shimadzu gas chromatograph, supercritical dryer, Solartron multi-channel potentiostat with frequency response analyzer, differential mechanical analyzer (DMA), screen printer for MEA/porous electrode manufacture, horn sonicator, muffle furnace, BET analyzer, centrifuge, two Pine rotating ring-disk electrodes (RRDE), diffusion cell system, thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), casting oven, two dedicated redox flow battery test stations, and three fuel cell testing stations.
