Fabrication and Characterization of MoS2 Flakes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MoS2 flakes were mechanically exfoliated from bulk MoS2 crystals (HQ graphene) onto 300 nm c‐SiNx (Cornell), 300 nm SiO2 (Nova), and 300 nm smooth SiNx (SVM) substrates. Standard electron‐beam lithography (FEI nano SEM 230) was used to pattern the contacts in a Hall bar structure, followed by thermal evaporation (Kurt J. Lesker, Nano36) of 80 nm gold as electrodes. The electrical characterization, Hall effect measurements, and the magnetotransport were all measured using a Physical Property Measurement System (PPMS, Quantum Design). The devices were mounted on a chip carrier using conductive silver paint. Aluminium wires (with diameter ≈25 µm) were then used to connect the patterned electrode‐pads to the pins on the chip carrier, which was completed using a grounded wire‐bonder setup (F&K Delvotec Model).

Characterization of MXene@PI Composites

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM, FEI NanoSEM 230), transmission electron microscopy (TEM, JEOL JEM2200fS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM, Bruker ICON3) were employed to characterize the morphology and microstructure. A drop shape analyzer (DSA 30, Krüss, Germany) was utilized to measure the water contact angles (CA). A FTIR spectrometer (PerkinElmer Spectrum Two) with an attenuated total reflection accessory was used to perform the FTIR measurements. The resistances (R) were measured in a four-probe method by a Keithley 4200 electrometer so as to calculate the electrical conductivity (δ). EMI SE in the frequency range of 8.2–12.4 GHz (X-band) was measured by a vector network analyzer (Agilent 8517A) in the waveguide method. More than three specimens were tested for each component. The S-parameters were recorded and used to calculate the SET, SER, and SEA. To evaluate the electrothermal performance, various DC voltages were applied to the 10L MXene@PI composite foams using a DC-regulated power supply. The temperature of the sample was measured by a digital thermometer (UT325) with its T-type thermocouple contacting the surface of the sample. The electromechanical response of the composite foams was obtained by measuring the resistance change using the Keithley 4200-SCS electrometer in a two-probe method.

SEM Imaging of Cellulose Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cellulose nanoparticles
were imaged with a NanoSEM 230 (FEI) SEM at a distance of 10 mm and
an accelerating voltage of 5 kV. The samples were prepared by evaporating
the acetone from the suspension in a 60 °C oven. The dried powders
were sprinkled on a carbon tape stuck to aluminum sample holders.
A 7 nm layer of platinum was sputtered on the samples as conductive
layer. The samples were stored under vacuum in a desiccator before
imaging.

Thermogravimetric and Structural Analysis of CNTs/MnOx Hybrid Nanofibers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of the as-prepared CNTs/MnOx-Carbon hybrid nanofibers and CNTs/MnOx hybrid nanofibers was carried out with a TGA/DSC1 type instrument (STA449C NETZSCH, German) with a heating rate of 5 °Cmin−1 from 35 to 700 °C in air. The phase of the products was examined with an X’ Pert Pro MPD X-ray diffractometer with Cu Kα radiation (λ = 1.5418 Å, Philips, Holland). The morphology of these nanomaterials was evaluated with a NanoSEM 230 field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM, Nova NanoSEM 230, FEI, USA) and a Tecnai G2F20 S-TWIN transmission electron microscope (TEM, Tecnai GX F20 S-TWIN, FEI, USA). The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) experiments were carried out on a VG Scientific ESCALAB 250 instrument (XPS, ESCALAB 250, Thermo Scientific, America) by using aluminum Kα X-ray radiation during XPS analysis.

Characterization of Xylem Vessel Morphology and GO Attachment in Plant Stems

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 6 days of treatment, small sections of 1–2 cm from the bottom of the flower stems of each treatment were observed by using a stereomicroscope. Some other stem segments were first frozen in liquid nitrogen for half an hour and then freeze-dried with a lyophilizer (Telstar, Lyoqlest-85, Spain). The stem segments were sputter-coated (Emitech K550X, UK) and then observed using SEM (FEI Nova NanoSEM 230, USA) to characterize the morphology of the incised xylem vessels of the samples from each group. Afterward, the surfaces of the freeze-dried stem segments, which contacted the treatment solutions directly, from the C and C+GO groups were analyzed using an FTIR spectroscope (Nicolet iS50, USA) to characterize the special peak of the GO attached on the surface of the stem ends, with a wavenumber range from 500 to 4000 cm−1. The surfaces of the freeze-dried stem segments, which contacted the treatment solutions indirectly, from the L and L+GO groups were examined using XPS (Axis-Ultra-Dld, U.K.) to analyze the redox state of the GO attached to the inner surface of the xylem vessels.

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.
