Software

Python(Free)

Used for data processing and plotting, electrochemical system simulation, and hardware control.

  • We mainly use NumPy, Pandas, and SciPy packages for data analysis; Matplotlib and Seaborn packages for data plotting.
  • Coding should be done in JupyterLab for better sharing and reading. We suggest JupyterLab Desktop.
  • Read this article to know why we use Python, not OriginLab or Excel.
  • Dr. Weiran Zheng delivered an ECS Webinar on “Introducing Python for electrochemistry research”. You can view the recording here.
  • For introductory tutorials, we suggest:

Blender(Free)

Software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, and visual effects.

Fiji (ImageJ)(Free)

An open-source image processing program designed for scientific image analysis, particularly popular in life sciences (e.g., for electron microscopy images).

VESTA(Free)

A 3D visualization program for crystal structures, volumetric data such as electron/nuclear densities, and crystal morphologies.

Gwyddion(Free)

A modular program for scanning probe microscopy (SPM) data visualization and analysis (e.g., AFM, MFM, STM, SNOM/NSOM).
