A series of nickel oxide-loaded zirconia (NiO/ZrO2) catalysts
with different weight percentages (1, 2.5, and 5 wt %) of Ni were
prepared by the wet impregnation method. A mixture of zirconium oxide
(ZrO2, 2 g, Alfa Aesar) and appropriate amount (wt %) of
nickel sulfate (NiSO4·6H2O, Alfa Aesar)
in 60 mL of deionized water was stirred for 7 h at room temperature.
The resultant slurry was filtered under vacuum and dried at 100 °C
for 6 h, followed by calcination at 450 °C for 6 h in the presence
of air, to obtain different weight percents of NiO/ZrO2. Instrumentation details are included in the Supporting Information (page S2).

Fluorescent Polyurethane Nanocomposite Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All chemicals were purchased from Sigma Aldrich and used without modification or cleaning, unless otherwise stated. N,N,N′,N′-tetrakis(2-hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine (HPED, 99%), triethanolamine (TEA, 98%, Alfa Aesar), and 2,2,4-trimethyl hexamethylene diisocyanate (TMHDI, TCI America, a mixture of 2,2,4 and 2,4,4 monomers) were used as monomers. Ethyl isocyanate (98%, Sigma) was used for confirming urethane syntheformation. Fluorescent monomers, shown in Figure 1, PhB (99%), Eos (99%), IcG (95%), and Cal (99%) (Chem-Impex Int’l Inc.) were identified as having functional groups that react with isocyanate groups similarly to alcohol groups, and were added without modification. All reactive monomers are shown in Figure 1. The additives barium sulphate (BaSO4, particle size of 3 μm, 99%), zirconium oxide (ZrO2, particle size of 5 μm, 99%), and tungsten (W, particle size > 1 μm, 99.95%, Alfa Aesar) were used without modification.

Solid-State Synthesis of Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) Powder

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A conventional solid-state technique was employed to synthesize PbZr0.53Ti0.47O3 (PZT) powder. High-purity
oxide materials, including lead oxide (PbO: Alfa Aesar; 99.9%), zirconium
oxide (ZrO2: Alfa Aesar; 99.5%), and titanium oxide (TiO2: Alfa Aesar; 99.8%), were used as starting precursors. The
mixture was then subjected to low-energy ball milling using zirconia
balls for 24 h to thoroughly mix and homogenize the oxide powders
utilizing methanol media as solvent. The mixture obtained after ball
milling was subsequently dried to remove the solvent (methanol). The
dried mixture was finely crushed using a mortar and pestle, ensuring
that the resulting powder was well dispersed and uniform. The finely
ground mixture was placed in a closed alumina crucible and calcined
at 1100 °C for 10 h in a Carbolite HTF1700 furnace. This calcined
powder was used for electrode fabrication.
The calcined PZT
powders were crushed and well mixed with 5 wt % poly(vinyl alcohol)
(PVA) as a binding agent. The PVA solution was prepared in distilled
water. The mixture was then pressed into thick pellets with a diameter
of 13 mm, applying a uniaxial pressure of ∼4.5 × 104 Pa to achieve proper compaction and shaping. This prepared
pellet was used for the ferroelectric measurement (PE loop).

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.
