Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) & Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) & Electron Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDXS)
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
Bonding and Compositional Characterization
Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES)
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF)
Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy (UV-Vis)
Synthesis & Processing Techniques
