The N₂ adsorption–desorption isotherms of the carbon precursor and activated carbons were measured on an automatic adsorption instrument (ASAP 2020M, Micromeritics, Norcross, GA, USA) at 77 K [20 (link)]. The specific surface areas of the specimens were calculated by the BET equation, assuming the nitrogen molecule area of 0.162 nm². The total pore volume was estimated as liquid volume of the adsorbate adsorbed at P/Po = 0.99 [21 (link)]. The average pore sizes were estimated by 4 V/A, where V is total pore volume and A is BET surface area. The micropore volume was determined by means of the t-Plot method. The pore size distributions were obtained by the BJH method [22 (link)].

Fourier-transform
infrared spectroscopy (FTIR, Spectrum one, PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA)
was used to characterize the occurrence of the reaction. Scanning
electron microscopy (SEM, FEI QUANTA FEG250) was used to investigate
the pore structure of the samples. Both nitrogen adsorption (ASAP
2020 M, Micromeritics, Norcross, GA) and mercury intrusion porosimetry
(Poremastier-60, Quantachrome, Boynton Beach, FL) tests were used
to measure the pore size and its distribution of the resultant material.^{50 (link)} The wettability of the sample was studied by
measuring the contact angle (CA) on an instrument (OCA 40, Dataphysics,
Germany) at room temperature. Also, the CA was measured in several
environments including in air, underwater, and under oil. The thermal
stability of the samples was measured by Diamond TG/DTA (PerkinElmer,
Shanghai, China) by heating each sample from 25 to 800 °C, with
a heating rate 10 °C/min under a nitrogen atmosphere. The size
distribution of emulsion was further measured by a dynamic light scattering
nanosizer (DLS, Nano-ZS 3600, Malvern, UK) at room temperature.

The sample
of α-quartz was naturally collected from Guiding, Guizhou Province
of China, and the α-cristobalite sample was purchased from Veston
Silicon Co., Ltd. in Guiping County, Guangxi Province of China. To
acquire a relatively uniform average particle size, both samples were
ground with a planetary ball mill (FRITSCH Pulverisette 6, Germany)
for about 2 h. All of the powders were immersed in 0.01 M HCl solution
for 24 h and then rinsed with deionized water until they were free
from chloride ions. After drying, the samples were calcined in a muffle
furnace at 450 °C for 12 h. The specific surface area of samples
was determined by a Micromeritics ASAP 2020M specific surface area
and porosity analyzer. To compare well the surface property of α-quartz
and α-cristobalite, the adsorption capacity was all normalized
to the specific surface area of samples.
Reagent-grade crystal
violet (CV) (C₂₅H₃₀N₃Cl·3H₂O, purity ≥ 99.0%), from Tianjin Kemiou Chemical Reagent
Co., Ltd., was used to prepare all solutions for the adsorption experiments.
All solutions were prepared in deionized water, and the solution pH
was adjusted with standard acid (0.1 M HCl) and standard base (0.1
M NaOH) solutions.

The morphologies, elements’ composition and elements’ distribution were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM, Hitachi S-4800, Japan) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA, TGA-50) was carried out under an oxygen atmosphere from 30 to 600 °C with the heating rate of 5 °C min⁻¹ to determine the amount of LAGP in the composite. The nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurement was carried out to characterize the specific surface area (S_BET) and the pore size distribution, which were calculated by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) theory and density functional theory (DFT) method respectively, on a micromeritics analyzer (ASAP 2020M, Micromeritics, Norcross, GA, USA). Atomic force microscopy (AFM, Bruker Multimode 8, Germany) was tested by peak force quantitative mechanical mapping to characterize the mechanical properties of electrolyte membranes. The electrolyte uptake of the PPG-co-PETA/LAGP QSSCE was calculated from the following Equation (1), where w₀ is the initial weight of the QSSCE, and w_i is the final weight of the QSSCE after absorbing electrolytes for 6 h:

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.
