The electrochemical properties
of the samples
were analyzed using a Bio-Logic 300 electrochemical workstation. A
platinum wire electrode (BAS, USA) was used as the counter electrode,
and a Ag/AgCl (BAS, USA, 3.0 M NaCl) was used as the reference electrode.
A Hanna
HI-5522 pH meter (Hanna instruments, USA) was used to measure
the pH. All electrochemical experiments were conducted at an ambient
temperature of 25 °C. The EIS measurements were conducted in
the frequency range of 100 mHz–100 kHz. Scanning electron microscopy
(SEM) imaging was performed using a JSM-6700F scanning electron microscope
(Japan Electro Company). FTIR spectra were recorded using an IR-Affinity-1
Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (Shimadzu, Japan). The
XRD spectra and crystalline phases were determined using an X-ray
diffractometer on an X’Pert Pro MRD with a copper source at
a scan rate (2θ) of 1° s
–1. Sigma Plot
14.0 was used for all statistical data.
