MATERIAL CHARACTERIZATION

Material representation and analytical tests

Match test methods based on research objectives, sample morphology and target indicators, and provide sample and data analysis support.

Main test directions

SEM / TEMXPS / XRDRaman / FTIRBET / AFMICP-OES / ICP-MSTGA / DSCElectrochemical testing

Need to be clear before testing.

  • Sample type, quantity, size, mass, solvent and potential hazard.
  • I'd like to answer a scientific question, not just the name of the instrument..
  • Need for sample preparation, element mapping, depth analysis, peak alignment or quantitative analysis.
  • Existence of special circumstances such as air sensitivity, water content, volatilisation, magnetic or biological contamination.

Results and data

Provision of raw data, instruments to export documents, pictures, basic processing or further analysis according to project engagement. If there is a requirement for alignment, statistical comparison and mechanism interpretation, it should be confirmed prior to testing.

Relevant guidance

Check list before material forms are sent
Technology needs assessment

A description of the research issues, then a methodology and workload.

Existing submissions, target indicators and expected time frames to facilitate the development of implementable programmes.
