The chemical structure of the as-prepared photoelectrode was verified by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS). FTIR spectra were recorded in the range of 400~4000 cm−1 with an interval of 4 cm−1 on a PerkinElmer Frontier spectrophotometer in the attenuated total refraction (ATR) mode with an additional variable angle reflectance accessory under ambient conditions. XPS spectra were performed on a Thermo Fisher Scientific ESCALAB 250Xi spectroscope with Al Kα radiation (photon energy 1253.6 eV) as the exciting source at a working voltage of 12.5 kV. The crystalline features of the samples were characterized by using a Bruker D8 Advanced X-ray diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.5416 Å), operated at 40 kV and 40 mA ranging from 1.5 to 80° with a speed of 2° min−1. The microstructures and element distribution of samples were observed on a JEOL JSM-7900F scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Composition Analysis of Salivary Sialoliths

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We analyzed samples of 50 salivary sialoliths obtained from the submandibular gland main duct from 50 patients with submandibular sialolithiasis. The exemplary micrographs made using a SEM, operating with a variable pressure chamber at a pressure of 90 Pa to minimize ionization of the specimen. A back-scatter electron BSE detector was used for the analysis. The accelerating voltage was 20 kV. The only pre-treatment procedure was cutting the investigated salivary stones to reveal their core. Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX) carried out using an UltraDry detector (ThermoFisher Scientific, United States) integrated with the SEM microscope.
The molecular composition of the specimens (X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, XPS) was studied using an Escalab 250Xi spectroscope (ThermoFisher Scientific, United Kingdom). The spectroscope was equipped with an Al Kα monochromatic X-Ray source, spot diameter 250 µm. The pass energy applied was 20 eV. Before measurements on sialoliths, the XPS was calibrated using single-crystal Au. Charge compensation was controlled through low-energy Ar+ ions emission .

N2 adsorption/desorption isotherms were measured on a Quantachrome autosorb-iQ at 77 K. Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface areas of the ANPC materials were calculated according to the linear ranges of BET plots from the corresponding physisorption isotherms.

Characterization of Nanofillers via XRD, XPS, and BET

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Bruker D2 Phaser diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.54056 Å) and an XE-T detector were used to carry out X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. A 2θ range of 5–70° was used to collect the data. High-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were carried out using an Escalab 250Xi spectroscope from Thermo Fisher Scientific. The X-ray source was AlKα and the spot was 500 μm. The pass energy was set to 20 eV. Charge compensation was assured through low-energy electron and Ar+ ion bombardment of the sample, with final peak calibration at adventitious carbon (C 1s at 284.6 eV). Specific surface areas of the fillers were measured by nitrogen adsorption at 77 K (NOVAtouch™ 2, Quantachrome Instruments) and calculated using the BET linear equation in the approximate relative pressure range of 0.1 to 0.3. The correlation coefficient of the linear regression was not less than 0.99. Prior to the measurements, the samples were degassed under vacuum at 40°C for 12h.

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.
