Instrumental Techniques
- Near-ambient pressure (NAP) XPS which allows the in situ characterisation of photocatalytic processes under illumination at different gas atmospheres and pressures up to 25 mbar.
- Chemical characterization techniques: mass spectrometry, gas/mass chromatography, elemental analysis ICP- OES and CHONS.
- Thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA) in oxidising (air), inert (Ar) or reductive (10% H2/Ar) atmospheres.
- Properties of solids: textural and chemisorption.
- X-ray diffraction with structural PDF analysis and controlled atmosphere chamber up to 900 °C and 10 bar.
- Spectroscopy: IR (DRIFT, ATR and VEEMAX), UV-vis-NIR, Raman and fluorescence.
- Thermal diffusivity determination.
- Biotechnological characterisation techniques: GC, HPLC equipped with different columns and detectors (IR, MS, UVVIS, HPAEC-PAD), electrophoresis instrumentation for recombinant DNA technology, protein purification and analysis
- High-resolution field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) with transmission detector (STEM)
