The Department provides extensive services in the field of basic research, implementing cooperation and carrying out orders based on the highest-class scientific and research equipment. The Department is equipped with tools that enable surface analysis, both on the nano and macro scale:
- Multispectroscope XPS/UPS/ISS/REELS, Escalab 250Xi (ThermoFisher Scientific)
- Electron microscope SEM, S-3400N (Hitachi) with EDS / EBSD detectors (ThermoFisher Scientific)
- Raman microscope / spectroscope, Aramis UV (Horiba)
- Microscopes with scanning probe, AFM and STM / SRI / SCM / SKM / MFM / PFM / EFM / DFM, NTEGRA Aura (NT-NDT)
In addition, it has a wide range of equipment for electrochemical and corrosion tests, such as:
- Autolab, Princeton, Gamry and other potentiostat / galvanostat sets,
-
and modular systems for electrochemical tests based on PXI NI 24-bit and 16-bit measurement cards
And devices for low-temperature fuel cells testing:
- FuelCell Technologies test station for measuring hydrogen-powered cells
- as well as a set of measuring devices for cells powered by methanol / ethanol / formic acid
