The surface morphology of the sample was observed by using JSM-7600F field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM). CV, EIS, and Tafel polarization curves were conducted by using a computer-controlled electrochemical analyzer (CHI 660D, CH Instrument). The electrolyte used in the DSSC test was also injected into the symmetric dummy cells for both EIS and Tafel measurements. EIS was carried out under the simulating open-circuit conditions at ambient atmosphere, sealing with thermoplastic hot-melt Surlyn and leaving an exposed area of 0.64 cm2. The frequency of applied sinusoidal AC voltage signal was varied from 0.1 to 105 Hz, and the corresponding amplitude was kept at 5 mV in all cases. The photovoltaic test of DSSC with an exposed area of 0.4 × 0.7 cm2 was carried out by measuring photocurrent-photovoltage (J-V) character curve under white light irradiation of 100 mW·cm−2 (AM 1.5 G) from the solar simulator (XQ-500W, Shanghai Photoelectricity Device Company, China) in ambient atmosphere.

Photoresponsive Performance Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All photoresponse performance tests are based on a standard two-electrode electrochemical workstation (CHI660D, CH Instruments, Inc., Shanghai). During the test, the electrode clips of the counter electrode and the reference electrode were clamped at the same conductive wire connecting Pt, and the working electrode was clamped at the other wire connecting printed galinstan pattern. The linear sweep voltammogram (LSV) was measured at a scan rate of 10 mV·s−1. The current–time relationship (i–t) curve was tested by periodically turning on the “on” and “off” light source states at a frequency of 10 s. A 350 W xenon arc lamp was placed at a distance of 20 cm from the device as a light source for testing. The light only irradiated on the surface of galinstan electrode, and illumination intensity at the location of the photo-anode was measured and tuned before the test. All the photo-response current density has been normalized to the dark current density, in order to clearly compare the variation with and without light irradiation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Electrochemical measurements were conducted with an electrochemical workstation (CHI 660D, CH Instruments Inc.) using a three-electrode configuration. The working electrode was prepared by pipetting a 30 μL aliquot of the catalyst ink (prepared by ultrasonically mixing 20 μL of the electrocatalyst and 10 μL of the Nafion solution) on the surface of a cleaned glassy carbon electrode, which was dried at room temperature. The electrodes prepared from Au@PdAg-NTs and Pd/C commercial catalysts were denoted as Au@PdAg-NTs/GC and Pd/C/GC, respectively. The counter electrode was a Pt foil. Hg/HgO (1 M KOH) was used as the reference electrode, which was calibrated against a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), and all potentials reported in this paper were referred to the RHE. Cyclic voltammetric (CV) measurements were performed in a 1 M KOH solution with or without 1 M methanol at room temperature in the potential range of −0.9 to +0.4 V at the potential sweep rate of 50 mV s−1. Linear sweep voltammetric (LSV) studies were conducted in a 1 M KOH + 1 M CH3OH solution between −0.9 to +0.4 V at different temperatures at a potential scan rate of 50 mV s−1. Chronoamperometric (CA) analysis was conducted at −0.25 V in 1 M KOH + 1 M CH3OH at room temperature for 1000 s.

Electrochemical Performance of OER Nanospheres

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Electrochemical measurements are performed by an electrochemical workstation (CHI 660D, CH Instruments, Inc., China) in a 1M KOH (Aladdin Chemistry Co., Ltd., China) solution (pH~13.8); a typical three-electrode electrochemical cell consists of a reference electrode (using Hg/HgO electrode), a counter electrode (carbon rod), and a working electrode. Convert the potential to a reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) using a standard conversion formula with 95% iR compensation. The electrocatalytic OER performance was measured by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) curves at a scan rate of 5 mV/s under ambient nanospheres. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was performed at an open-circuit voltage in the frequency range 100–106 Hz. The electrochemical surface area was obtained by scanning CV with a voltage window of 1.532–1.567 V vs. RHE in a KOH solution at scan rates from 20 to 180 mV/s.

The cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) measurements were performed using CH Instruments Inc. (CHI 660D). A glassy carbon electrode (GCE, 3 mm diameter) was used as a working electrode, while a platinum wire and an Ag/AgCl reference electrode (3 M KCl) were used as counter and reference electrodes, respectively. The experiments of electrochemical characterization were carried out in 5 mM [Fe(CN)6]3−/4− solution as a redox probe from +0.7 V to −0.4 V, while the different concentrations of H2O2 (5 to 6000 µM) were prepared in 0.1 M PBS saturated with N2.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images were recorded using a JEOL JEM-1230. Surface morphology characterization and identification were performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM, TESCAN VEGA3) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX, BRUKER) and an atomic force microscope (5600LS, Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed using an X-ray diffractometer (BRUKER, D8 DISCOVER).

The electrochemical cells
employed in the X-ray and neutron interferometry experiments are substantially
different for each of the two scattering techniques employed. As a
result, they are fully described in their respective Data Collection
sections below. Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements,
using a CHI660D electrochemical workstation from CH Instruments, were
performed in situ on the membrane specimens utilized
in the X-ray and neutron interferometry experiments, as well as on
many additional, entirely analogous specimens performed ex
situ
. These data were usually successfully modeled with simple
equivalent circuits,21 composed of a resistance,
representing that of the silicon oxide surface of the Si–Ge–Si
or Si–Ni–Si multilayer substrates, in series with an
RC component, representing the bio-organic overlayer on its surface,
e.g., the reconstituted VSD:POPC membrane or the hybrid OTS:POPC bilayer.

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.
