The melting point of composite solder was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC, Netzsch STA409PC, Selb, Germany). The total weight of the DSC sample was about 15 mg, which was heated to 260 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C/min. The electrical resistivity ρ of the composite solders was calculated via the formula ρ = (0.017241/electrical conductivity) × 100%. The electrical conductivity test was carried out via a portable Sigma 2008B1 conductivity tester (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA). An as-sanded specimen with dimensions of φ 20 mm × 30 mm was used in the test. A total of five points on the end face were measured for each composite solder specimen.

The dopant concentration was probed via energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS, Link Pentafet, 7426, Oxford Instruments) by irradiating a (10 × 10) μm2 sample area at 10 kV. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed on an X’Pert Pro diffractometer from Panalytical Instruments (Cu Kα radiation) at an acceleration voltage of 40 kV and emission current of 30 mA. XRD data were collected in θ–2θ geometry in the range of 20°–80° in step scan mode (0.008° step size). N2-physisorption experiments were carried out at 77 K using a Quantachrome Autosorb instrument. Prior to the measurements, the samples were degassed in a vacuum at 120 °C. For thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), a QMG421 mass spectrometer system (Balzers) combined with a Netzsch STA409PC thermal analyzer were used. Specifically, 10 mg vacuum-dried (24 h) TiO2 powder was heated to 800 °C at a rate of 5 °C/min in an oxygen/argon (20:80) atmosphere. The optical properties of nanoparticles were determined by measuring the light absorption spectra of diluted dip-coating solutions (~ 6 mg/mL) using a UVIKON XS spectrophotometer equipped with 3 mL cuvettes.

To verify
the chemical structure and study the composition of the prepared MEPCM,
the following techniques and methods were used. The surface morphology
of the MEPCM was observed after coating with gold with the help of
scanning electron microscopy (S-4800, Hitachi, Japan) at an accelerated
voltage of 20 kV. The sample was subjected to a micron lamellar specimen
using a focused ion beam (FIB) (Helios Nanolab G3 CX, FEI), and the
element mapping was analyzed by an energy-dispersive spectrometer
(EDS). The composition of the MEPCM was analyzed by Fourier transform
infrared (FT-IR) spectra. In a typical procedure, samples were mixed
with KBr to make pellets. FT-IR spectra in the absorbance mode were
recorded using an FT-IR spectrometer (TENSOR 27, Bruch GmbH, Germany).
The thermal stability of the MEPCM was studied using a thermal gravimetric
analyzer (STA 409 PC, NETZSCH Group, Germany) in the temperature range
from 20 to 800 °C under air at a flow rate of 20 mL/min and at
a heating rate of 10 °C/min. The thermodynamic properties (phase-change
and heat storage capacity) of MEPCM were investigated by the differential
scanning calorimeter instrument (DSC, Mettler-Toledo, TGA/DSC 1) at
a heating or cooling rate of 10 °C/min in a flow of argon. X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS, ESCALAB250XI, Thermo Fisher Scientific)
was used to measure the binding energy of the Al and O atoms.

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.
