Inorganic Functional Nanomaterials Laboratory
Characterization facilities Our Microscope
Our own Transmission Electron Microscope (Tecnai FEI Stwin-200 with LaB6 thermionic emission) along with Aduro Heating holder - located at AFMM, IISC. We are highly dependent on this microscope. This is our regular characterization tool for synthesized nanostructures, as well as the workhorse for in-situ heating experiments. Apart from these, we have some other setups: Muffle furnaces and multiple solvothermal reaction setup Rotor vapor setup Ultrasonic reactor Tube furnace AmAr gas-passing solvothermal setup Custom-built Schlenk line reactor setup for wet-chemical synthesis in required atmosphere The Toy (located at AFMM, IISc) In-situ heating setup (located at AFMM, IISc) Close View (Grids) TITAN G2 80-300 kV We have access to a brand new probe-corrected 300 kV TITAN at AFMM, IISc Bangalore. It comes with a CEOS GmBH D-corr+ corrector, having capabilities of atomic-resolution (80 pm) STEM and electron tomography. The machine is installed and we have started using it in recent past. Looking forward to exciting times ahead .... Wet-Chemistry Lab
We use a variety of methods to synthesize and characterize functional nanomaterials. Some of them are shown below:
CEM Microwave reactor High-speed Centrifuge Gas Chromatography (used for CO oxidation studies) BET setup (used for Temperature-programmed adsorption studies)
Olympus optical Microscope Perkin Elmer UV-Vis-NIR spectrometer with integrating sphere & Peltier setup
