Hydrogen (H2) production is pivotal in the global shift towards a net-zero carbon economy. Its elemental abundance and zero-emission combustion position it as an ideal renewable energy source. However, the journey to harness hydrogen’s full potential is fraught with challenges, particularly in storage and transportation. Researching viable hydrogen carriers is critical, as conventional methods grapple [...]

In the realm of science and technology, laboratories (or labs) play a pivotal role. These are the spaces where researchers, engineers, and experts conduct experiments, analyses, and tests to gather data, develop products, and improve processes. So, what exactly is a laboratory, and how are they categorized, standardized, and equipped? Join Reecotech as we delve [...]

Surface engineering refers to a branch of materials science with an enormous range of applications and methodologies – many of which have been implemented since before the terminology ‘surface engineering’ was widely adopted. The treatment and laying of compressed gravel or cobblestones to create hardened surfaces on top of designated roadways is a process that [...]

Thin films are prevalent in a range of technological applications, from packing materials to medical devices. Because of the unique properties of these films, they have significantly enhanced many industries and opened doors to innovative solutions. However, for thin films to perform optimally, the issue of contaminants must first be addressed. Contaminant analysis, which involves detecting [...]

Many applications in the scientific field require researchers to analyse the surface properties of materials, including their elemental, isotopic and molecular composition. Luckily, many different analysis techniques are available to scientists, and the most suitable method will depend on what they want to study. In this blog post, we will look at four of the [...]

Sputtered neutral mass spectrometry (SNMS) is a powerful technique used to analyse solid surfaces to identify their elemental and molecular composition. It is a tool used for failure analysis and material characterization because it can accurately obtain information about a sample’s chemical composition and elemental depth profile, which is vital in many industries to ensure [...]
