Facilities

Our research is enabled by access to state-of-the-art facilities both locally at Oxford and at international synchrotron facilities.

Equipment at Rex Richards

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy

• Phi VersaProbe XPS System - High-resolution surface analysis and depth profiling

Sample Preparation

• Thermal Vapor Deposition Systems - For thin film sample preparation
• UHV-Compatible Operando Cells - For studying solid and liquid electrolytes under realistic conditions

Synchrotron Beamlines

We collaborate closely with international synchrotron facilities to conduct advanced operando X-ray spectroscopy experiments.
