The electrochemical experiments were performed on a CHI660D electrochemical workstation (CH Instrumental Co., Shanghai, China). The morphology of RGO/CMC was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM, JEM-2010F UHR, JEOL Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). The spectral properties were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis, TU-1800PC, Puxi Tongyong Instrument, Beijing, China), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR, Nicolet-380, Thermo Electron Co., Waltham, MA, USA), Raman spectra instrument (Olympus FV1000, Olympus Co., Tokyo, Japan). The surface property of RGO/CMC colloidal aqueous solution was studied by Zeta potential analyzer (Zetasizer Nano, Malvern Instruments Ltd., Worcestershire, UK). The component percentage of sample were measured through thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA, SDTA851e, Mettler-Toledo Co., Zurich, Switzerland) with a heating rate of 10 °C·min−1 using pure nitrogen as a carrier gas. The crystal structures of GO and RGO/CMC were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD, X’Pert, Philips Co., Eindhoven, The Netherlands).

Bulk samples (10–20 g) were collected in the field in plastic vials from each visible layer. Their location in the section was tagged and photographed. Mineralogical analysis was conducted using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (Nicolet 380; Thermo Electron Corp), focusing on the spectrum between 4,000 and 250 cm−1. Sample preparation was followed by the potassium bromide (KBr) standard procedure (50 ), and interpretation aided by a reference library at the Kimmel Center for Archaeological Science, Weizmann Institute. Identification of heat-altered clay minerals is based on criteria given by ref. 51 , and of heat-altered calcite based on criteria in ref. 52 . Nine of 14 samples (HA-2, -3a, -5, -6, -7, -10b, -11, -13a, -14) were further analyzed using optical microscopy in the form of grain mounts, prepared by mounting approximately 1 mg of sediment with a few drops of Entellan (Merc) on microscope slides, and analyzed under plane (PPL) and cross-polarized light (XPL) using a Nikon 50i POL polarizing light microscope.

Infrared (IR) spectra were collected at 37 °C
in reflectance
geometry, from 800 to 4000 cm–1, using a Fourier-transform
spectrometer (Nicolet 380, Thermo-Electron Corp. Madison, WI, USA)
fitted with a deuterated triglycine sulfate (DTGS) detector and thermostatic
“Golden gate” attenuated total reflectance (ATR, SpecAc,
UK) sample stage with a diamond element. The optical path through
the spectrometer and ATR device were purged with dry, filtered air
to minimize interference due to atmospheric CO2 and water
vapor. Liquid specimens were placed directly onto the ATR element,
covered with a glass coverslip, and sealed around the edges with petroleum
jelly to prevent evaporation, and 64 scans were collected at 4 cm–1 resolution.

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.
