Structural and Compositional Analysis of Co3O4/N-HPGC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The structure and morphology of Co3O4/N-HPGC were investigated using a JEM-2100 transmission electron microscope (TEM, JEOL, Japan). The elemental analysis of samples was determined by X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) on a VG Escalab 250 spectrometer (Thermo Scientific, USA). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were obtained by a D8 Advance X-ray diffractometer (Bruker, Germany) equipped with a Cu Kα radiation source (λ = 0.15418 nm) at a scanning rate of 5° min−1. N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms were measured using a Quantachrome Autosorb-iQ-MP (USA) analyzer at −196 °C with a relative pressure ranging from 0.0112 to 0.9948. The specific surface area was calculated by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) model.

The UV-vis absorption spectra were obtained by Shimadzu UV-3100, UV-3150 and UV-3600 spectrometers. STEM measurements were carried out by a JEOL JEM-ARM200F equipped with an EDS analyzer (acceleration voltage: 80 kV). XPS was recorded by a Shimadzu ESCA-3400 with Mg Kα (12 kV, 30 mA) using as an X-ray source. The binding energy was standardized using the Pt 4 f peak at 71.0 eV for Au-containing clusters and Au 4 f peak at 84.0 eV for other samples. XPS measurements for position dependence were carried out with VG ESCALAB 250 spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific K.K.), using monochromatized Al Kα X-ray radiation (1486.6 eV). The system was operated at 15 kV and 200 W. The base pressure of the analysis chamber was less than 10−8 Pa. The pass energy was 50.0 eV (wide scan) and 20 eV (individual narrow scan). These characterization were carried our using transfer vessel to avoid moisture/air exposure of the samples. Standardization was achieved using the C 1 s transition (284.8 eV). Background removal was carried out with the Thermo Electron Advantage analysis software package.

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
XPS analysis was performed using a VG ESCALAB 250 spectrometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) calibrated against the reference binding energies (BE) of clean Cu (932.6 eV), Ag (368.2 eV), and Au (84 eV) samples. Survey spectra and high-resolution spectra of the C 1s, B 1s, N 1s, O 1s, and Pd 3d core-level regions were collected at a take-off angle of 90° and a pass energy of 100 and 20 eV, respectively, using an Al Kα monochromated X-ray source (hν = 1486.6 eV). Data processing was performed using the CasaXPS analysis software using a Shirley-type background, component peaks defined by BE, Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) and Gaussian/Lorentzian envelopes. BEs of the component peaks were corrected with reference to the C 1s peak for –CH2—CH2– bonds set at 285.0 eV.

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.
