Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The electrolyte was prepared by dissolving the metal precursors and the complexing agents in the sequence of sodium citrate dihydrate (ACS reagent, Sigma Aldrich), nickel sulfate hexahydrate (Certified ACS, Fisher Scientific), sodium molybdate dihydrate (ACS reagent, Sigma Aldrich), and ammonium hydroxide (ACS reagent, Sigma Aldrich). The solution pH was corrected using NaOH and H2SO4. Circular gold-coated Cu electrode with an opening area of 0.65 cm2 and the commercially brass plate (267 ml brass cathode, Kocour) were used as the working electrode and substrate for the linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and Hull cell electrodeposition. The LSV was conducted using the three-electrode system (i.e., a saturated Ag/AgCl (4M KCl) and a Pt-coated titanium plate as the reference and counter electrodes, respectively) with a Princeton Applications VMP2 potentio/gavalnostat. Potential was swept from open circuit potential to −2 V, with respect to the reference electrode at the scan rate of 5 mV/s. The electrodeposition employed Pt-coated Ti mesh as anode in the 267 ml Hull cell and powered by Hewlett Packard 6655 A DC power supply. Before the reaction, the substrate was cleaned with 1 M H2SO4, rinsed with deionized water, and blow dried with nitrogen gas.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The synthesis and the physicochemical properties of superparamagnetic iron doped hydroxyapatite (FeHA) NPs have been extensively described in previous works (Iannotti 2017.). Briefly, for the synthesis, 10.64 g of H3PO4 (>85 wt% in water, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was dissolved in 35 mL of ultrapure water and added dropwise into a Ca(OH)2 (ACS reagent ≥ 99.0%, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) suspension (12.0 g in 60 mL) containing FeCl2·4H2O (ACS reagent ≥ 99.0%, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) (3.08 g) and FeCl3·6H2O (ACS reagent ≥ 99.0%, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) (4.24 g) in a 1 : 1 molar ratio at 45°C under vigorous stirring. After the addition of phosphoric acid was completed, the obtained solution was kept at 45°C under stirring for 3 h and then left still at room temperature overnight. FeHA in the form of powder was recovered by centrifugation (6000 rpm, 5 min, 4°C) of the reaction mixture, repeatedly rinsed with water and finally freeze-dried before any further step.

Materials. We used low molecular weight salmon sperm double stranded DNA (lyophilised powder, Sigma Aldrich) with a size of ~30 bp except for a set of experiments where we looked into the influence of DNA length on adsorption capacity of soot and charcoal where we used salmon sperm double stranded DNA solution (UltraPure, 10 mgml -1 , ThermoFischer Scientific) with the size of ≤2000 bp. We used DNA LoBind tubes (Eppendorf) and DNase/RNase-free water (molecular biology water, LONZA, AccuGene) for preparation of all solutions and suspensions. The pH of stocks and suspensions was adjusted with 0.1 M HCl (EMSURE ACS reagent, 37%, Sigma Aldrich) and 0.1 M NaOH (ACS reagent, ≥97.0%, Sigma Aldrich) and measured with 913 Metrohm metre calibrated on a daily basis (precision ± 0.1 unit). We did not use pH buffers as they are known to modify DNA adsorption capacity. 44 We prepared 1 mM and 100 mM electrolyte stocks of NaCl (ACS reagent, ≥99%, anhydrous, Sigma Aldrich) and CaCl2 x 6H2O (ACS reagent, ≥99%, Sigma Aldrich), and soot and charcoal stock suspensions at the concentration of 50 mgml -1 . Immediately prior to an experiment, we prepared 1 mgml -1 DNA stock (30bp) by dissolving lyophilised powder in electrolyte suspension, shaked it for 15 min at 20 °C at 300 rpm on an orbital shaker and adjusted the pH.

Ag nanoprism seed solution was synthesized by a modified chemical reduction method. In a typical synthesis, 12 mL of 0.075M trisodium citrate dihydrate (HOC(COONa)(CH2COONa)2•2H2O, ACS reagent, Sigma Aldrich), 200 μL of 0.1 M silver nitrate (AgNO3, ACS reagent, Sigma Aldrich) and 480 μL of hydrogen peroxide solution (H2O2, ACS reagent, 30wt.%, Sigma Aldrich) were dissolved in 200 mL of H2O. After that, 1.2 mL of 0.1 M freshly-prepared sodium borohydride solution (NaBH4, ≥98%, Sigma Aldrich) was added by quick injection under vigorous stirring, giving rise to a blue solution of Ag nanoprism seeds, which was then used as a stock solution.

Fabrication of Nickel-Coated BCZYZ Wafers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Typically, nickel sulfate hexahydrate (4 mL, 1 m, ACS reagent, 99 %, Aldrich) was mixed with ammonium persulfate (3 mL, 0.25 m, ACS reagent, ≥98.0 %, Aldrich) and concentrated aqueous ammonia (1 mL, 28 %, Aldrich). The mixture was then topped up with deionized water up to a total volume of 10 mL. The BCZYZ wafer was suspended in a vial with the stirred solution at RT and held for different times (0.5–12 h). Once coated, the samples were rinsed thoroughly with deionized water to eliminate all soluble salts and dried at 70 °C. In the indicated cases the deposition procedure was repeated twice. After deposition, the samples were reduced at 500 °C for 1 h in 10 % H2+90 % N2 unless otherwise indicated. To test the presence of Ni metal, samples were placed close to a strong magnet; for percolation, samples were tested for continuity by using a digital multimeter. FEG‐SEM (Leo 1550) was used to image the microstructure immediately after deposition, reduction, and impedance measurements. XRD diffraction (X′Pert PRO MRD X‐Ray) was used for phase identification at RT.

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.
