Magnesium sulfate anhydrous, ethanol denatured and hexane were received from J. Kollins (Parkwood, Australia), while dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 (DMSO-d6) and phthalate esters were purchased from Acros Organics (Geel, Belgium). Ultrapure water was prepared by a model Aqua Max-Ultra ultra-pure water purification system (Zef Scientific Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Stock solutions of 1000 mg·L−1 of standards were prepared by dissolving appropriate amounts of compounds in methanol, which remain stable for three months if stored in a refrigerator at 4 °C. Working standard solutions were prepared daily by diluting the stock standard solution to the required concentrations.

Aerogel CNT Film Fabrication

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Methane was subjected to chemical vapor deposition (CVD) catalyzed by ferrocene (p.a.; Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK) and promoted by thiophene (p.a.; Sigma-Aldrich, Gillingham, UK) inside of a vertical reactor kept at 1200 °C under hydrogen. Continuously produced aerogel that formed inside was drawn directly out from the reactor and transferred onto a fast-spinning winder to yield 10 μm thick CNT films made up of multi-walled CNTs as previously described (Figure 1) [13 (link),27 (link)].
The material was then cut with a razor blade into 10 mm × 40 mm specimens, peeled off the substrate, and transferred onto custom-designed sample holders (Figure 2). The U-shaped holders were made of glass and equipped with Al tape electrical terminals between which the CNT films were placed. Ag conductive paint was used to minimize the possible effect of contact resistance between nanocarbon and the Al terminals through which current was delivered.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
