Facilities and Methods

Cyclic voltammetry is used to study the electrochemical  properties of the molecules that we prepare

We do a lot of synthetic work !

…..The department has a new X-ray facility!

UV-vis fluorescence of  dyes in solution and bound are studied routinely

To prepare the TiO₂ colloids we employ a custom-made titanium  autoclave

The department  NMR facility includes 500 mHz and  600 MHz instruments 

With light scattering and other techniques we can characterize the nanoparticles in solution and cast on films

Time-resolved  photophysical properties and injection rates  are studied with nanosecond and femtosecond laser instrumentations

(in  collaboration with Piotr Piotrowiak)

The  group’s  laboratories are located in Olson Hall (Rooms 333, 335, 306 and 308).

Here are some of the facilities, techniques  and instruments that we use.

Raman Microscopy , ATR-FTIR , FTIR studies (Richard Mendelsohn)

help us to characterize the binding mode and the type of bonds  between the molecules and the nanoparticles

 HPLC for separation & purification
