The crystalline structures of the g-C3N4/UiO-66-NH2/CdS photocatalysts were assessed by XRD using a Bruker D8-ADVANCE (Bruker AXS, Karlsruhe, Germany) with Cu Kα radiation over the 2θ range of 5–60°. FTIR spectra (KBr pellets as substrate) were recorded on a Nicolet 5700 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) in the range from 4000 to 400 cm−1. The morphologies of the photocatalysts were examined by TEM and SEM using a Tecnai G2 F20 S-TWIN (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA) and Sirion 200 (FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA). Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were acquired using a fluorescence spectrophotometer (F-380, Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan). Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) were performed using a spectrophotometer (UV-3600, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) over the range of 200–800 nm. An ESCALAB 250XI (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) with a He I (21.22 eV) lamp was employed to perform UV photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) to ascertain the valence band positions and work functions of the samples. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was conducted with an electrochemical workstation (CHI 760E, CH Instruments, Shanghai, China) using a standard three-electrode system. The pH values of the various samples were determined using a pH meter.

The pore size distribution and surface area calculated by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and Barrett–Joyner–Halenda (BET/BJH) methods were measured using an ASAP2020 analyzer (Micromeritics Corp., USA) with nitrogen adsorption–desorption. A Zetasizer Nano ZSP system (Malvern Instruments, UK) was used to monitor the size distribution and zeta potential. The loading efficiency was inspected using a STA449F3 thermogravimetric analyzer (NETZSCH, Germany) under an N2 environment at a heating rate of 10 °C/min by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and derivative thermogravimetry (DTG).

Characterization of Silk/Quantum Dot Hydrogels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Silk and silk/QDs hydrogels (200 μL) were prepared in a 24–well plate. The gels were frozen at −80°C overnight and lyophilized for 48 hr in a lyophilizer (Alphk 2–4 LSC plus, Christ, Germany). Silk and silk/QDs microspheres were lyophilized directly. The dried samples (hydrogel and microspheres) were ground into powder together with potassium bromide (KBr), and pressed into discs for FTIR measurement using a Nicolet 5700 spectrophotometer (Thermo, USA). For each measurement, 24 Scans were recorded with a resolution of 4 cm−1, and a wavenumber range of 400–4000 cm−1. Deconvolution of the infrared spectra covering the amide I band (1595–1705 cm−1) was carried out using PeakFit 4.12 (SPSS Inc.). The mode of AutoFit Peaks II Second Derivative was applied to the original spectra in the amide I, and the peak width and height were adjusted to achieve R2 ≥ 0.99. The α-helices and β-sheets contents were obtained by calculating peak areas.

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.
