The ultrasound irradiation process was carried out using an ultrasonic processor (Model No: VCX 750, Sonics and Materials, Inc., USA (750 W, 20 kHz)) with a titanium horn. The electrospinning process for the preparation of siloxene/PVDF piezofibers was carried out on NanoNC electrospinning instrument (Model: ESR200R2, South Korea). The X-ray diffractogram of siloxene sheets was recorded using an Empyrean X-ray diffractometer (Malvern Panalytical, UK) with Cu-Kα radiation (λ = 1.54184 Å). The Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR) was measured using a Thermo Scientific Nicolet-6700 FT-IR spectrometer. The laser Raman spectra were obtained using a Lab Ram HR Evolution Raman spectrometer (Horiba Jobin-Yvon, France, at a laser excitation source of wavelength 514 nm). The chemical state of elements present in the siloxene sheets was analyzed by an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (ESCA-2000, VG Microtech Ltd). The surface morphology of the siloxene powders and electrospun fibers was examined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (TESCAN, MIRA3) under different magnifications with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and HR-TEM (JEM-2011, JEOL) with a CCD 4k × 4k camera (Ultra Scan 400SP, Gatan).

Example 1

Analytical Methods:

X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses were performed on a Bruker D8 Advance diffractometer system with an operating voltage of 40 kV and a current of 40 mA by using Cu Kα radiation (λ=1.5405 Å) and a graphite monochromator. The samples were investigated over the 28 range 10-80° at a scanning speed of 2 min−1. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra were collected on a Bruker FT-IR spectrometer by using the KBr pellet technique. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) analyses were carried out using a thermogravimetric analyzer (Discovery, TA, USA). A 5.0 mg sample was placed in an aluminum pan and heated from 30 to 600° C. under N2 at a heating rate of 10° C./min. The morphologies and sizes of the resulting products were determined with field emission scanning electron microscopy (TESCAN LYRA3, Czech Republic). TEM images were recorded by using a transmission electron microscope (JEOL, JEM 2011) operated at 200 kV with a 4 k×4 k CCD camera (Ultra Scan 400SP, Gatan). PL measurements were performed with a spectrofluorometer (Fluorolog FL3-iHR, HORIBA Jobin Yvon, France). The chemical compositions of the samples were determined with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) by using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (ESCALAB-250, Thermo-VG Scientific) with Al—Kα radiation (1486.6 eV).

EXAMPLE 3

Instrumentation

The pH values of the buffer solutions were recorded using a dual channel pH meter (XL60, Fisher Scientific). All electrochemical measurements were performed using a CHI (760E) electrochemical workstation (CH Instruments, Austin, Tex.). Bare ITO and modified ITO were used as the working electrodes, Ag/AgCl was used as the reference electrode, and a platinum wire was used as the counter electrode. All electrochemical experiments were carried out at RT without deaeration. Images were obtained by using a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, TESCAN LYRA 3, Czech Republic), and by using a transmission electron microscope (TEM, JEOL, JEM 2011) operated at 200 kV and equipped with a 4 k×4 k CCD camera (Ultra Scan 400SP, Gatan).

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.
