• Cartesian robot for preparing 3D structures by additive micro-extrusion of rheology-controlled catalytic inks.
• High-capacity (7 L) filter reactor designed for single-stage scale-up of synthetic materials procedures (precursor addition, mixing, thermostatting, sonication, filtration, solvent recovery).
• Optical microscope for 2D and 3D measurements , ideal for surface mapping and profilometry measurements even on irregular solid surfaces.
• Scanning electron microscope (SEM) with very high resolution (UHR), equipped with ion column (FIB) and STEM detector.
• FTIR spectrometer with environmental chamber, operating at high pressure (up to 30 bar) and high temperature (up to 800 °C), capable of simulating the “real” conditions of a process and analyzing the time evolution of reactants, products and transient species on the surface of a catalyst. The potential of the technique is amplified by the possibility of coupling a mass quadrupole or TG-DSC analyzer.
• Dual fixed-bed, high-pressure, high-temperature experimental station for continuous catalytic measurements and possibility of regeneration of the catalytic system under running conditions.
