Characterization of Perovskite Catalyst Powders

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phase structures of the as-prepared catalyst powders were determined by XRD on Bruker (D8 Focus, Cu Kα radiation). Program FullProf was employed for the diffraction refinement. SEM images were performed on a SU-8010 SEM, whereas high resolution TEM images equipped with EDS were conducted on a Tecnai G2 F20 U-TWIN TEM. XPS measurements of the catalysts were carried out on a Kratos Axis Ultra DLD instrument. The obtained XPS spectra were calibrated by referencing C 1 s to 284.6 eV, and simulated using the XPSPEAK41 software. We analyzed the specific surface areas by Brunauer Emmet Teller (BET) system with N2 as the adsorptive medium. Approximately 2.0 g samples were weighed and degassed at 250 °C for 4 h before nitrogen physisorption at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (77 K). The ability of perovskites to adsorb OH after exposure to water (100% humidity) at room temperature for 2 h was estimated from the Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR, Nicolet iS50, Thermo Scientific America). Oxygen temperature programmed desorption (O2-TPD) measurement was surveyed to analysis the oxygen desorption properties.

Characterization of Pd-Doped Porous Microspheres

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sizes and shape of TDI droplets, the microspheres PPM and Pd@PPM were examined under optical microscope (OM, BX-51, Olympus). Their size (Dn) and size distribution (Dw/Dn) were obtained by counting at least 200 microspheres. Surface and inner morphology of the microspheres were observed under scanning electronic microscope (SEM, Quanta FEG-250, FEI). Their porous property was examined by BET (Nora 200E, Quantachrome) and mercury intrusion porosimetry (AutoPore IV 9500, Micromeritics). In addition, Pd@PPM was also examined using Inductive Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES, Optima 5300DV, Perkin-Elmer) and EDS (X-Max50, Oxford) analysis to affirm the presence of Pd. Temperature-programmed reduction (TPR) and chemisorption were performed using AutoChem II 2920 for the measurement of Pd dispersion. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) was done on a diffractometer (D8 Focus, Bruker).

Surface Morphology and Wettability Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The surface morphology of the sample after the single nanosecond pulse laser processing was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Phenom ProX, Phenon World, Eindhoven, The Netherlands). X-ray diffraction (XRD, D8 FOCUS, Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA), point energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS, Phenom ProX, Phenon World, Netherlands), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR, Cary 630 FTIR, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) were used to evaluate chemical compositions on the surface. The wettability on the laser-treated surface was measured by an optical contact angle and interface tension meter (SL200KB, Kino, Kailua Kona, HI, USA) with a 5-μL volume of deionized (DI) water droplets.

The drug dispersion state in CYT-loaded BDS was assessed by an X-ray diffractometer suitable for powders (D-8 Focus, Bruker, Billerica, MA, USA). The diffractograms were obtained from 5° to 60° in ⊖/2⊖ at 2°/min, 40 kV voltage and 30 mA current at room temperature. XRD analyses were performed on pure CYT and CYT-loaded powders immediately after their preparation, as well as after one month of sample storage (at room temperature).

A field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) (SIGMA, Zeiss, Jena, Germany) was used to characterize the perovskite film. An XRD spectrum was obtained using an X-ray diffractometer (D8 Focus, Bruker, Dresden, Germany) from a perovskite film deposited on ITO/LT-TiO2/PC61BM. The absorption spectra of perovskite films were obtained by an ultraviolet (UV) visible absorption spectrometer (Avantes, Apeldoorn, the Netherlands), and the photoemission spectra (PL spectra) of perovskite films were measured by a fluorescence spectrometer (HORIBA Jobin Yvon, Paris, France). Finally, a solar simulator (Sol 3A, Oriel, New port, RI, USA) was used to measure the current–voltage (J–V) characteristic curve of the solar cell under standard AM 1.5 G light.

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.
