Two-dimensional GO and GO–Ag NP images were obtained using TEM (JEM 2000EXII, JEOL, Tokyo, Japan). Sample structures were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD, Siemens D5005, Oslo, Norway) to determine the element structure and phase purity. The 2θ diffractogram was scanned in the range of 5–80° at a scan rate of 4° min−1 with Cu-Kα radiation. FTIR (Horiba FT-730G, Kyoto, Japan) was used to identify the functional groups of the sample in the range of 500–4000 cm−1. A UV-visible spectrophotometer (V-650, Tokyo, Japan) was used to measure the change in the lateral size of GO and GO–Ag NP with various absorption wavelengths. The zeta potential and size distribution of GO and GO–Ag NPs were recorded in triplicate via a light scattering instrument (Zetasizer, 2000 HAS, Malvern, Worcestershire, UK). The Ag content was analyzed using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES, Agilent 700 Series ICP Optical Emission Spectrometers, Victoria, Australia).

Metal loading in the electrocatalysts was analyzed using simultaneous DTA-TGA equipment, TA Instruments (New Castle, USA), the model SDT 2960 at a constant heating rate of 10 °C min−1 from 30 to 900 °C under air atmosphere flow (100 mL min−1). Around 5.0 mg of the sample was placed in a Pt-crucible.
The electrocatalyst composition was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) from IXRF System Inc., model 500 Digital Process (Houston, TX, USA) using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), model EVO 50 (Cambridge, UK).
Diffraction patterns were obtained on an X-ray diffractometer (D5005 from Siemens- Munich, German) operating with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.5406 Å) generated at 40 kV and 40 mA. The following parameters were kept constant during the analyses: 2θ range = 30°–90°, step = 0.01° s−1, and total analysis time = 100 min. XRD data were corrected by the background and refined by fitting the experimental angular range of interest to the pseudo-Voigt1 function per crystalline peak with a computer refinement program (Profile Plus Executable, Siemens AG, Munich, German). The crystallite size was estimated by using Scherrer’s equation [51 ]. The electrocatalyst morphology was also investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) using an FEI TECNAI G2 F20 HRTEM (200 kV) microscope (Fei Company, Hillsboro, Oregon).

XRPD patterns were recorded at room temperature on a Siemens D5005 diffractometer in Bragg–Brentano geometry. Data were collected with CuKα radiation in the range from 5° to 50° 2θ with a step size of 0.02°. Finely ground samples (crystalline or glassy) were deposited on a glass holder or a single crystal zero background sample holder made of silicon (cut along the (610) plane). For phase identification, structureless profile fits (Pawley method64 (link)) were performed with the TOPAS academic v6 software92 (link).

The qualitative and quantitative phase composition of the cement raw powder and of both formulations (MPC_22.5 and MPC_25) after 3 h of setting was determined via X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Cuboid samples (12 mm × 6 mm × 6 mm) of set cements were ground with a pestle and mortar and an X-ray diffractometer D5005 (Siemens, Karlsruhe, Germany) with a Cu-K radiation, a 40 kV voltage and 40 mA current were used. A 2 theta range from 20° to 40°, a step size of 0.01° and a scan rate of 1.5 s/step were applied. For the qualitative analysis, the measurement curves were compared with Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standards (JCPDS) reference curves. Further quantitative analysis was done by Rietveld refinement analysis with the software Topas 2.0 (Siemens, Karlsruhe, Germany).

Angular Distribution of WAXS Photons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The angular distribution of photons scattered at WAXS region was measured using a powder diffractometer Siemens D5005 operating in back-reflection mode. The x-ray tube working at 40 kV and 30 mAs was equipped with a Cu anode (Kα = 8.04keV) and Ni added filtration. A compensating divergence slit was used to keep the irradiated area constant at 6 mm × 10 mm. Moreover, a Söller slit was positioned between the compensating divergence slit and the sample, located on the central axis of the goniometer system, in order to minimize incident beam divergence. Between the sample and the detector system, other sets of Söller and compensating divergence slit were used to allow measurements within a small angular range around the desired scattering angle. The detector system consisted of a graphite monochromator and a scintillation detector of NaI. The monochromator was in order to accept scattered photons with the Kα energy of Cu and to exclude others energies (like Compton in large angle and multiple scatter). Scattering angles from 4° up to 72° were scanned in steps of 1/3°, corresponding to q-range between 2.84 nm−1 and 47.90 nm−1. A counting time of 30 s for each angular position was selected in order to provide a statistical uncertainty of less than 3%.

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.
