#### Lab system (members only)

To book instruments, please go to [Instrument booking system](https://el.easylab.xyz/lab/zhenggroup).  
To access the experimental raw data and shared files, please go to [NAS data and file system](https://zheng-lab-gtiit.cn5.quickconnect.cn/).

#### Softwares
[Python](https://www.python.org/): data process and plotting, electrochemical system simulation, hardware control, free
- We use mainly numpy, pandas, and SciPy packages for data analysis, Matplotlib and Seaborn packages for data plotting. Coding should be done in JupyterLab package for better sharing and reading, and we suggest [JupyterLab Desktop](https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab-desktop);
- Read [this](https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/2754-2734/acff0b/meta) to know why we use Python, not Originlab or Excel;
- Dr. Weiran Zheng delivered an ECS Webinar on the topic of “Introducing Python for electrochemistry research”. You can view the recording [here](https://physicsworld.com/a/introducing-python-for-electrochemistry-research/).
- For introductive tutorials, we suggest [Scientific Computing for Chemists with Python](https://weisscharlesj.github.io/SciCompforChemists/notebooks/introduction/intro.html)  by Charles J. Weiss, and [Python for Data Analysis](https://education.molssi.org/python-data-analysis/) from MolSSI.

[Blender](https://www.blender.org/): 3D rendering, free. 
[fiji](https://fiji.sc/): EM image processing, free. 
[VESTA](https://jp-minerals.org/vesta/en/): structure visualisation, free. 

#### General electrochemical resource
For **basic principles of electrochemistry**, you can refer to [Electrochemistry 101 (Cambridge)](https://www.ceb.cam.ac.uk/research/groups/rg-eme/research/undergraduate-teaching-notes), [Electrochemistry 101 (MIT)](https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/chemical-engineering/10-626-electrochemical-energy-systems-spring-2014/study-materials/), and [sop4cv](https://sop4cv.com/).  
For a **deeper understanding of the electrochemical methods** we are using, you can refer to the [Gamry application notes](https://www.gamry.com/application-notes/), [Pine research notes](https://pineresearch.com/shop/kb/knowledge-category/theory/), and the electrochemistry Bible: [Electrochemical Methods: Fundamentals and Applications](https://www.wiley.com/en-kr/Electrochemical+Methods:+Fundamentals+and+Applications,+2nd+Edition-p-9780471043720) by Allen J. Bard et al.
