Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 5 g urea (NH2CONH2, NIHON SHIYAKU REAGENT) was added into an aluminum crucible, and subsequent thermal treatment at 550 °C for 2 h with 5 °C min−1 of heating rate in argon atmosphere could obtain a light-yellow powder composed of g-C3N4 nanoparticles. A total of 3.38 g bismuth (III) nitrate pentahydrate (Bi(NO3)3·5H2O, Alfa Aesar) was placed in 40 mL of 2 M nitric acid solution (solution A). Then, 0-40 wt% g-C3N4 was put into solution A to be stirred for 1 h. The 0.81 g ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3, Acros) was dissolved in 40 mL of deionized (DI) water (solution B). The 1 wt% surfactant, such as citric acid monohydrate (CIT, C6H8O7•H2O, fw: 192.12, SHOWA), (1-hexadecyl)trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB, CH3(CH2)15N(CH3)3Br, fw: 364.42, Alfa Aesar), and polyethylene glycol (PEG, C2nH4n+2On+1, fw: 4,000, SHOWA), was added into the solution B. The 0-20 mol% copper (II) acetate monohydrate (Cu(CH3COO)2•H2O, Merck) was also added in 20 mL of DI water (solution C). Subsequently, solution A and solution C were added into solution B. Then, the reaction mixture was treated with a sonochemical instrument (700 W, 20 kHz, Q700 SONICATOR) for 0.5 h–2 h at 60 °C [4 (link)]. Finally, the copper-doped BiVO4/g-C3N4 samples were collected.

Spray Pyrolysis of BiVO4 Thin Films

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thin films of BiVO4 were deposited by spray pyrolysis. Bi(NO3)3·5H2O (98%, Alfa Aesar) and VO(AcAc) (99%, Alfa Aesar) were dissolved in acetic acid (98%, Sigma Aldrich) and absolute ethanol (Sigma Aldrich), respectively. The Bi solution was then added to the V solution (Bi : V = 1 : 1), and the mixture was diluted to 4 mM with excess ethanol. The acetic acid to ethanol volume ratio in the final solution is 1 : 9. The final solution was then ultrasonicated for 15 minutes. The FTO substrate was heated to 450 °C during deposition. The precursor solution was sprayed in a pulsed deposition mode onto the FTO, with one spray cycle consisting of 5 s spray time followed by 55 s delay time to allow the solvent to evaporate. After deposition, the films were annealed for 2 hours at 450 °C in air. More details can be found in previous reports.24 ,25 (link)

N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-L-phenylalanine (Boc–L-Phe–OH) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Steinheim 89555, Germany) and used without further purification. Bi(NO3)3·5H2O was purchased from Alfa Aesar (Kandel 76870, Germany) and used without further purification. [Bi38O45(NO3)20(dmso)28](NO3)4·4dmso (A) was synthesized according to a literature procedure [13 (link)]. Na2CO3 (99.5%) from Sigma Aldrich was used without further purification. Acetonitrile purchased from Merck (Darmstadt 64271, Germany) and ethanol (Alfa Aeser) with 99 % purity was used without further purification.

Aluminum powders (average diameter of 10 μm, 99%) were provided by Angang Group Aluminum Powder Co., Ltd. (Anshan, China). KBr (99.92%) and Bi(NO3)3·5H2O (99.999%) were purchased from Alfa Aesar Co., Ltd. (Tianjin, China). KI (99%), NaF (99%), CH3COOH (99.9%), and ethylene glycol (C2H6O2, 99.7%) were obtained from Xilong Chemical Co., Ltd. (Shantou, China). All above reagents were starting materials.

Synthesis of Bismuth Ferrite Powder

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synthesis of the bismuth ferrite powder was carried out using a nitrate based route published by Ghosh et al. [9 (link)]. 15 mmol of each Bi(NO3)35H2O (Alfa Aesar, Kandel, Germany) and Fe(NO3)39H2O (VWR-Chemicals, Hannover, Germany) were dissolved in 2 N HNO3 and 30 mmol tartaric acid (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) were added. This solution was then dried at 80 °C and pre-calcined at 150 °C on the hotplate. The resulting fluffy powder was mortared and sintered at 600 °C for two hours. After confirming phase purity by XRD, the powder was wet-milled in ethanol with ZrO2 -balls of different size until it was possible to easily disperse it in water using ultrasonication.

The water was Milli-Q® grade (Millipore, MA, USA).
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) grade acetonitrile (ACN) was purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). The water was Milli-Q® grade (Millipore, MA, USA).
When necessary, a dilute aqueous solution of sulfuric acid was employed to adjust at 6 the pH of the drug solution (10 ppm Levofloxacin or ketoprofen) containing 0.7mM of sodium sulfate as supporting electrolyte. The saline concentration was chosen to reproduce the average salinity of freshwater. 28 The pH of the drug solutions was measured with a combined glass electrode connected to an AMEL pH-meter (Milano, Italy).

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.
