LIFA FLIM Camera Powers Breakthrough pH Imaging in Clean Energy Research at Delft University of Technology

At the forefront of advanced electrochemical research, our LIFA FLIM (Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy) camera and software have proven instrumental in enabling high-resolution imaging and real-time analysis of pH dynamics. Most recently, our system was pivotal in a groundbreaking study at Delft University of Technology, advancing the understanding of next-generation hydrogen technologies.

In a recent publication by researchers Nathalie Ligthart, Julius Sommer, Jorrit Bleeker, Lorenz Baumgartner, Johan Padding, and David Vermaas from the Department of Chemical Engineering, the LIFA FLIM system was used to visualize real-time pH fluctuations during hydrogen evolution on a single millimeter-sized particle. This particle model represents a single unit of a three-dimensional electrode—critical for optimizing electrochemical systems used in clean energy generation.

This work provides unprecedented insight into the microenvironmental behavior of active catalysts and has significant implications for designing efficient, scalable hydrogen production systems. By capturing fluorescence lifetime changes with sub-micrometer resolution, the researchers were able to correlate pH dynamics directly with electrochemical activity in real time.

We’re honored to support leading academic institutions and pioneering researchers working toward a clean, electrified future. Our LIFA FLIM solutions are designed for precision and adaptability, making them ideal for applications in materials science, cell biology, biophysics, and energy research.
