MICROMERITICS - ASAP 2020 MICROPORE DRY DESCRIPTION
Automatic analyzer of research for making high quality isotherms and measurement of specific surface and pore size distribution.And Micropore, based on the technique of physisorption on pure static volumetric method. This equipment allows the characterization of materials used in batteries and supercapacitors to deepen their surface area and pore distribution. Thus, the use of these techniques in electrochemistry is of great interest because it allows to obtain valuable information about the elemental composition and chemical components of advanced electrochemical batteries. Knowledge of surface area and pore distribution of a material with applications in electrochemical devices is crucial for the interpretation of their electrochemical behavior.
HORIBA - ULTIMA 2 Sequential Spectrometer
Sequential spectrometer with optimum sensitivity for the analysis of aqueous solutions, organic, soils, substrates, metals, etc ...
This equipment is used to:
- Detection of trace metals in different types of samples
- Confirm the final composition of thesamples synthesized in the laboratory is the required one.
- Detect possible degradation of the electrodes because of their reaction with the electrolyte and its partial dissolution in it.
P.Elmer - Espectrofotómetro FTIR spectrum 400 DTGS
Infrared spectroscopy allows the identification of compounds or functional groups containing covalent bonds. This technique is based on the excitation of vibrational energy levels of molecules (vibrational normal modes). The resonant frequencies or vibrational frequencies are related to the strength of the bond, and the mass of the atoms on either side of it. Thus, the vibration frequencies can be associated with a particular type of link. The complex molecules, with lots of links, have vibration conjugate, leading to infrared absorptions at characteristic frequencies that may be related to chemical functional groups.
VARIAN - UV/VIS/NIR VARIAN Cary 5000 SPECTROMETER
This instrument sets the standard for photometric noise, range and linearity, providing excellent resolution across the UV-Visible spectrum extending the wavelength range into the NIR to 3300 nm. This equipment can determine the energy of transitions between the ground state energy and excited factors allowing deduction of covalency of metal-ligand bonds. It also can detect the charge transfer bands ligand-metal and metal-ligand and the characteristic bands of the Jahn-Teller effect displayed in the frequency region of the spectrometer.
UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy is commonly used in the quantitative determination of transition metal ions in the solid state and in solution and conjugated organic compounds.
In the area of materials for energy is of great interest because it means this will be possible to detect electronic changes of the ions involved in the electrochemical reactions, whether organic or inorganic materials.
