Solid catalysts are at the heart of 90 % today’s energy and chemical industries. Catalysts have a vital role in both established and emerging industrial processes and remain indispensable as we develop new processes while addressing societies greatest challenges linked to sustainable energy production and climate change. Developing new and more efficient electrocatalysts is an essential step to securing a...

When connected to the output of the VSP-G1, the VSP-P1 enables you to print inorganic nanostructured materials with novel properties. The material is built-up of sub 20nm pure particles, and can be printed in patterns locally on any type of substrate. The ability to locally deposit nanoporous thin films with a high surface-to-volume ratio in an additive manner greatly simplifies the manufacturing...

Spark ablation technology is a physics-based process, generating pure particles in a very controlled setting, without the use of chemicals. The spark ablation process used inside the VSP-G1 Nanoparticle Generator (VSP-G1) is a purely physical process that only requires electricity, a carrier gas and electrode material to produce clean nanoparticles. No additional chemicals are required for the production or to...

Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is a highly-sensitive detection technique which can contribute greatly to the development of chemical and biological sensing applications in many different fields. Those fields include among others, food analysis, medical diagnosis, forensics, environmental monitoring, and even fine art preservation. Due to Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR), SERS substrates provide orders of magnitude electromagnetic enhancement in Raman...

Prof Peter de Groot (Zygo Corporation) will present the 2020 Christmas lecture for the Midlands Centre for Data-Driven Metrology Wednesday, December 16th 2020, 15.00-16.00 Abstract: Optical instruments have long played a role in manufacturing, and strong arguments favour accelerated adoption of fast, non-contact measurements of surfaces, shapes and positions as an enabler for industry 4.0. High-precision techniques such as optical...

We would like to invite you to the upcoming webinar ‘Producing nanoaerosols by spark ablation using the VSP-G1 Nanoparticle Generator ’, presented by CTO  DR.IR. Tobias V. Pfeiffer of VSParticle Tuesday, December 1st 2020 at 08:00am We are continuously exposed to a plethora of airborne particles, i.e. aerosols, such as pollen, smoke, automotive emissions, and viruses. Test aerosols play an important part in building understanding of how...
