The X-ray diffraction pattern of the sample was carried out by a Bruker diffractometer, D2Phaser model, using the copper anode as a source of radiation [λ(CuKα = 0.154184 nm] in the range 2θ from 5° to 100° with step size, current, and tension of 0.020°, 30 mA, and 40 kV, respectively.
We collected the Vibrational Raman spectrum of the sample using a Bruker confocal Raman spectrometer, SENTERRA model, in the range between 85 and 1100 cm
−1, exciting the sample using a red laser (λ = 785 nm) with output power, resolution, and integration time of 0.5 mW, 4 cm
−1, and 10 s
−1, respectively. We could observe the active vibrational modes in the infrared region (IR).
The lindgrenite nanocrystals' morphology was examinated by Field Emission Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) operating an FEI Company microscope,
Quanta FEG 250 model at different magnifications. Initially, 10 mg of sample was added into the Eppendorf (2 mL capacity) together with 1.5 mL of acetone and dispersed by ultrasonic radiation for 3 min. The suspension obtained was placed drop-by-drop onto the aluminium stub substrates and dried at 303 K for 30 min.
The nitrogen adsorption/desorption isotherms was performed using a Quantachrome device (Autosorb iQ Station 1) at 77.35 K, using 0.0195 g of sample, and initial treatment using final Outgas at 453 K for 6 h.
