Mo2N thin films were synthesized
on 0.1 mm thick polycrystalline Mo (Alfa Aesar, 99.95%) foils cut
into 1 cm × 2 cm rectangles. The cut foils were sonicated for
5 min in ethanol to remove surface oils, washed in deionized (DI)
water, sonicated for 5 min in 1 M NaOH to remove surface oxides, and
received a final wash in DI water prior to being loaded into a horizontal
quartz tube furnace. Nitridification was conducted under a 150 cm3/min flow of 100% ammonia, where the furnace temperature was
ramped from 298 to 1123 K at a linear rate of 7 K/min and kept at
1123 K for 10 h. The sample was then gradually cooled under the same
gas condition to room temperature. The furnace was purged with Ar,
and nitride foils were removed.
The Mo2N foils were
characterized using both X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and
X-ray diffraction (XRD). An ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) chamber equipped
with XPS was used to quantify the Mo/N ratios under a base pressure
of 2 × 10–9 Torr. XPS measurements were conducted
using a PHI 5600 XPS equipped with a hemispherical analyzer and an
Al X-ray source. XRD measurements were conducted using a Cu Kα
X-ray source in a PANalytical XPERT3 Powder X-ray diffractometer that
measured both symmetric and 3° glancing incidence (GI) scans.

Single silk fibers were used for attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) as described previously [17 (link)]. ATR-FTIR was performed using a Nicolet iN10 with a Slide-On ATR objective lens (Thermo Scientific).

XRD was performed using an X’Pert3 Powder X-ray diffractometer (PANalytical, Almelo, Netherlands) with Cu Kα radiation from a source operated at 40 kV and 40 mA. Following a previously described method [17 (link)], all samples were mounted on aluminum frames and scanned from 5° to 50° (2θ) at a speed of 2.0°/min. MDI JADE 6.5 was used to calculate the relative crystallinity, according to the following formula: crystallinity (%) = (X/Y) × 100; where, X is the net area of diffracted peaks and Y is the net area of diffracted peaks + background area [17 (link)].

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.
