Dooley Labs – our facilities include:

      • Continuous catalytic reactor systems covering a range of pressures and temperatures
      • Product analysis – GC, MS, LC
      • Catalyst characterization – DSC/TGA, FTIR, porosimetry, chemisorption
      • Synthetic facilities such as autoclaves, ovens, Schlenk lines, glove box
      • Two RF-induction heating generators 
         

We also work extensively at the LSU Synchrotron Center on the XAS beamlines, at the LSU Shared Instrumentation Facility (XPS, XRD, Raman, TEM, SEM) and at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (TEM, Raman)
