PEPR – Centre for Pulse EPR at °®ÎÛ´«Ã½

About the facility

PEPR is an electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) facility located in the Molecular Sciences Research Hub (MSRH) on °®ÎÛ´«Ã½â€™s White City campus.

The facility is supported by a £2.3M grant from the EPSRC and provides the tools to study spin-based phenomena in a wide range of science and engineering research questions encompassing catalysis, electronics and optoelectronics, biological chemistry, reaction mechanisms, solar fuels, (semi)artificial photosynthesis, battery research and magnetism, to name but a few.

PEPR offers a unique combination of state-of-the-art multifrequency pulsed EPR equipment, electrochemistry, photoexcitation setup and instrumental development.


Highlights of our equipment

  • High-sensitivity, home-built pulsed X-band spectrometer developed in collaboration with the .
    The instrument is equipped with an  and superconducting microwave resonators to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio by up to 20× with respect to the standard equipment.
