Unlock a comprehensive understanding of your porous materials. We offer state-of-the-art characterization services to precisely determine crucial textural properties, including specific surface area, detailed pore size distributions (from micro- to macropores), and pore network connectivity. Whether you are working on advanced catalysts, adsorbents, or energy storage materials, our tailored analytical workflows provide the deep structural insights needed to optimize your material’s performance for both academic research and industrial applications.
Adsorption Fundamentals
- Investigation of adsorption mechanisms
- Effect of confinement on the phase, adsorption and wetting behavior of fluids
Advanced Adsorption and Liquid Intrusion Techniques
- High-resolution adsorption experiments of various adsorptives/temperatures (e.g., nitrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, krypton) coupled with data reduction methods based on statistical mechanics (e.g. NLDFT, QSDFT)
- Textural characterization of nanoporous materials including surface area assessment, pore size and network analysis
- Intrusion of non-wetting liquids, e.g. mercury intrusion/extrusion experiments for macro-/mesopore size analysis
Novel methodologies for textural characterization and adsorption measurements
- NMR Relaxometry: Cutting-edge time-domain NMR techniques to study fluid behavior, wettability, surface area, confinement effects, and pore sizes of wet nanoporous materials and powders.
- Inverse Size Exclusion Chromatography: Chromatographic setup to analyze the pore size of stationary phase materials.
