Comprehensive Characterization of Samples

The samples underwent a comprehensive characterization process. Initially, optical microscopy was employed for initial visualization. The vibrational modes were thoroughly analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), where samples mixed with potassium bromide (KBr) were subjected to a temperature of 150 °C for 24 h. High-resolution measurements were carried out with a Varian 660-IR spectrometer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA), set to 1 cm−1 resolution, and comprising 20 scans per measurement to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the spectral data. For morphological analysis, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) was performed using a JEOL 7401F microscope (Tokyo, Japan), enabling detailed observation of the samples’ surface and structure. Additionally, chemical composition and atomic-level studies were conducted using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) on a Thermo Fisher Scientific K-alpha model (Waltham, MA, USA). This utilized a monochromatic Alkα X-ray source for excitation, ensuring precise compositional analysis. All measurements were executed at room temperature to ensure consistent and reliable conditions across the analyses.

The Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was performed with ground powder in an ATR (attenuated total reflectance)-FTIR spectroscope/Varian 660-IR spectrometer (Agilent, Santa Clara; CA, USA), fitted with a Golden Gate ATR unit (Specac, Orpington, UK). The spectra were recorded in the range 500–4000 cm−1 with a resolution of 4 cm−1 (60 scans). The Varian 660-IR software package 5.2.0 (Agilent) was used for baseline correction, smoothing, and analysis, and Origin Pro (version 8.5.1; OriginLab, Northampton, MA, USA) for the graphical display and annotation of the spectra.

Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis was carried out with an EDAX Genesis EDX System attached to a scanning electron microscope (Nova 600 Nanolab; FEI, Eindhoven, The Netherlands) operating at 10 kV with a collection time of 30–45 s.
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was conducted in an ATR-FTIR spectroscope/Varian 660-IR spectrometer (Agilent, Santa Clara; CA), equipped with a Golden Gate ATR unit (Specac, Orpington; UK). Each spectrum represents the average of 100 scans with a spectral resolution of 4 cm-1 (typically 550–1800 cm-1). A baseline correction, smoothing, and analysis of the spectra were achieved with the Varian 660-IR software package 5.2.0 (Agilent). The graphical display and annotation of the spectra were achieved with Origin Pro (version 8.5.1; OriginLab, Northampton; MA). The spectral peaks were assigned according to published data [14 ,28 (link)–31 (link)].

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.
