Scanning Electron Microscopy of TiO2 NPs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The collective surface morphology of the prepared TiO2 NPs was investigated and visualized using a scanning electron microscope (Quanta FEG250-FEI-USA). The surface morphology of the TiO2 NPs was examined via a magnification software suite with SEM. The scanning electron microscope setup was fitted with an Energy-Dispersive X-ray (EDAX Genesis APEX 2i with the ApolloX SDD spectrometer) to analyze the elements present in the sample.

Structural and Microstructural Analysis of SrTiO3

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to determine the structural properties of the obtained materials, a Phillips X’Pert Pro diffractometer (XRD) (Almelo, The Netherlands) with CuKα (1.540 Å) was used. The measurements were carried out in the 10–120° range under 40 kV and 40 mA, at room temperature in air. Unit cell parameters were determined by Rietveld refinements in FullProf Suite software (3.0, June 2015) [39 (link)]. As an initial point of the analysis, unit cell parameters of the SrTiO3 structure (space group no. 221, Pm-3m) were used.
The microstructure of the sintered pellets surfaces/cross-sections was examined on an FEI Quanta FEG 250 Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) (Waltham, MA, USA). The SEM images were collected using an Everhart–Thornley Detector (ETD) detector for secondary electrons in a high vacuum at 20 kV acceleration voltage. The analysis of materials composition by Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS) was performed using the EDAX ApolloX SDD spectrometer (Mahwah, NJ, USA). The density and porosity of the pellets were determined using the Archimedes method with kerosene as a liquid medium.

Multi-modal Materials Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Next generation sequencing was performed on Illumina platform. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) with a secondary electron detector operated in high vacuum mode at an accelerating voltage of 10–20 kV (FEI Quanta FEG 250, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to examine the morphology of the samples. The elements were identified by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) with ApolloX SDD spectrometer (Ametek, Berwin, PA, USA) at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV. A Nicolet iS50 FTIR spectrometer controlled by the OMNIC v9.2 software package (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) equipped with Specac Quest Total Reflection Diamond (ATR) accessory and a single reflection diamond was used to record infrared transmission spectra. Chromatographic analysis was performed using Agilent liquid chromatograph series 1290 (Agilent Technology, Waldbronn, Germany) consisting of binary pump G4220A, autosampler G4226A, thermostated column compartment G1316C, diode-array detector G1315C, and triple quadrupole mass spectrometer G6460 with AJS electrospray ionization source. The chromatographic system was controlled with Agilent MassHunter software B 06.01.

The elements were identified by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) using an ApolloX SDD spectrometer (Ametek, Berwin, PA, USA) at an accelerating voltage of 20 kV. Chromatographic analysis was performed using an Agilent Liquid Chromatograph Series 1290 (Agilent Technology, Waldbronn, Germany) containing a high speed binary pump (G7120A), autosampler (G7167B), thermostated column compartment (G7116B), diode-array detector (G1315C), and triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with AJS electrospray ionization source (G6470B). The Agilent MassHunter software (B 06.01) controlled the chromatographic system.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in two different atmospheres was applied to monitor the thermal degradation process, which is related to mass loss as a function of rising temperature. Thermogravimetric measurements (TGA/DSC1 analyzer, Mettler Toledo, Greifensee, Switzerland) were taken at a linear heating rate of 10 °C min−1 over the temperature range from ambient temperature to 1100 °C, in an air or N2 flow.

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.
