Center for Electrochemistry

Electrochemical Research Instrumentation Facility

The CEC maintains a unique user electrochemical research instrumentation facility, allowing researchers from the University of Texas and visitors access to instrumentation and expert help in electrochemical studies. In a single location, the facility makes available electrochemical instruments such as potentiostats, scanning electrochemical microscopes, and impedance analyzers as well as spectroscopic techniques for studying intermediates on electrode surfaces and device test equipment. The CEC facility complements extensive nearby facilities available at UT-Austin's Center for Nano & Molecular Science & Technology (CNM) and Texas Materials Institute (TMI).

The CEC facility is used by CEC research groups primarily, and is also available as a user facility for other Texas universities and colleges. A full-time facility manager maintains the facility and assists visitors.

Industrial Affiliate companies may obtain access to these facilites. In some cases CEC personnel may be able to do measurements for these companies and return data.

The facility is located in Welch Hall, room 2.404.
