Crystal structures of synthetic and natural stepanovite and zhemchuzhnikovite were determined by single-crystal XRD. Diffraction measurements were made on Bruker D8 APEX2 and Bruker APEX DUO x-ray diffractometers, using graphite-monochromated MoKα radiation (λ = 0.71073 Å). Data were collected in ω scan mode (2θ ≤ 54°). Structures were solved by direct methods in SHELXS and refined using SHELXL (35 ) on F2 using all data. Hydrogen atoms were located using the electron difference map when permitted by data quality. Calculations were performed and images were prepared using WinGX program suite (36 ). Structures have been deposited to the CSD, with deposition codes 1408093 to 1408095 for synthetic samples and 1431678 and 1431679 for natural samples.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) was performed with a HITACHI, SU8010 FESEM
instrument with an energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis system
operated at 50 kV. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were obtained
using Bruker APEX DUO. XRD patterns were taken using Cu Kα as
the radiation source with a 1° divergence slit, 0.2° receiving
slit, and carbon monochromators at 1° min–1 (2θ range 20°–70°). Time-of-flight secondary
ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS, Munich, Germany) is used to characterize
the surface composition of the ZnO NRs on the FTO substrate. The primary
ion source was a pulsed 69Ga+ source (pulsing
current 2.5 pA and a pulse width of 30 ns) operated at 15 keV with
a post-acceleration of 10 kV. The analysis area of 100 nm × 100
nm, data acquisition time of 30 s, and charge compensation by applying
low-energy electrons (∼30 eV) from a pulsed flood gun were
used for the measurements. The mass resolution measured on the ZnO+/– signal was mm = 4000 in the positive and negative detection modes. Calibration
of the mass spectra in the positive detection was based on the peaks
such as H+ (1.007 m/z), B+ (11.0082 m/z), 64Zn+ (63.922 m/z), 66Zn+ (65.919 m/z), and in the negative detection mode on C (12.0004 m/z), O (15.995 m/z), CO2 (44.003 m/z), HCO2 (45.0118 m/z), 64ZnO (79.922 m/z), and 64ZnO (81.9189 m/z).

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.
