xGnP were purchased as a powder from XG Sciences, Inc., (Lansing, MI, USA); H₂SO₄ 98% and HNO₃ 65% were purchased from Fluka (Göteborg, Sweden) and were used to oxidize xGnP. Potassium tartrate and antimony (III), >99.9% purity, were from Merck Group (Darmstadt, Germany). To adjust the pH, standard traceable 0.1 M KOH and 0.1 M HCl solutions Scharlau (Barcelona, Spain) were used. A standard solution, Quality Control Standard 21, 100 mg L⁻¹ Sb concentration, from Perkin Elmer (Waltham, MA, USA) was used to plot the calibration curve for inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). For the preparation of work solutions and standards, ultrapure water with resistivity 18.2 MΩ cm⁻¹, produced by an EASY pure RoDi equipment (Barnstead, NH, USA) was used. All work solutions were freshly prepared before use. The purge gas for ICP–OES was Argon 5.0, >99.999% purity (Linde Gaz, Romania).

In a typical working process, the elemental precursors, specifically copper (Merck, Germany), antimony (Merck, Germany) and sulfur (Ites, Slovakia) in a Cu:Sb:S stoichiometric ratio of 3:1:3, were used. In total, 2.33 g of copper, 1.49 g of antimony and 1.18 g of sulfur were loaded into the laboratory planetary ball mill, Pulverisette 6 (Fritsch, Idar-Oberstein, Germany), and milled under the following milling conditions: atmosphere, argon; 50 tungsten carbide milling balls with diameters of 10 mm; mass of milled mixture, 5 g; rotation speed of the planet carrier, 550 min⁻¹; milling time, up to 5–30 min. In the case of industrial milling, 46.66 g of copper, 29.80 g of antimony and 23.54 g of sulfur were loaded into the industrial eccentric vibratory mill, ESM-656 0.5 ks (Siebtechnik, Mülheim, Germany). The industrial milling was performed under the following conditions: 5 L steel satellite milling chamber attached to the main corpus of the mill; tungsten carbide balls with a diameter of 35 mm and a total mass of 30 kg; 80% ball filling; amplitude of the vibrations, 20 mm; rotational speed of the eccenter, 960 min⁻¹; argon atmosphere. This milling was performed for 60–120 min.
The mechanochemical synthesis was performed according to the following reaction (Equation (1)):

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.
