Raman Spectroscopy of Catalyst Structures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The static Raman measurements of the molecular structures of catalysts were determined on a XploRA confocal spectrometer (Jobin Yvon, Horiba Gr, France). The Raman scattering was excited by an external-cavity diode (785 nm) and coupled with a 50 × Olympus microscope objective (Olympus, 0.50 Numerical Aperture). The power of the laser was equal to 9 mW. A 1200 lines per mm diffraction grating places prior to a multichannel charge-coupled device device (1024 × 256 pixels) was used to collect spectra in a resolution of 3 cm−1 with two accumulations at a 10 s acquisition time.

Micro-Raman Spectroscopy of Dried Samples

Micro-Raman spectroscopy was performed directly on samples that were left to dry in a glass substrate. The apparatus is an XploRA confocal spectrometer (Horiba-Jobin Yvon, France), which was operated at a wavelength of 785 nm, using a 100× magnification objective with a pinhole of 300 µm and an entrance slit of 100 µm. The scattered light from the sample was then collected by the same objective and dispersed by a 1200 lines/mm grating onto an aircooled CCD detector iDus (Andor Technology Ltd., Belfast, UK). The analysis was performed in the 100-2000 cm -1 range and the spectral deconvolution was made with the Spectral ID software from Horiba using its built-in database as well as with other published Raman spectra.

Polymer Molar Masses via SEC-Raman

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Polymer molar masses were determined by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) using tetrahydrofuran (THF with 250 ppm of BHT as inhibitor) as the eluent. Measurements in THF were performed on a PL GPC 50 from Agilent equipped with RI and UV detector. The separation was achieved on three Tosoh TSK HXL gel columns (300 × 7.5 mm) G4000, G3000 and G2000 with an exclusion limits from 200 to 400 000 Da, at flow rate of 1 mL min−1. The injected volume was 20 μL. Columns' temperature was held at 40 °C.
The Raman measurements were performed using a Jobin-Yvon Horiba XploRA confocal spectrometer with a resolution of 4.3 cm−1 in the spectral range 900–3100 cm−1. The laser source is a laser diode giving access to two laser wavelengths with a maximum power of 45 mW. Our work was carried out using an incident wavelength of λ = 785 nm and the laser beam power was fixed at 100% of the maximum power. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio, each spectrum was the result of 2 accumulated spectra with an acquisition time of 30 seconds for each spectrum.

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.
