Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements were performed on a Nicolet 6700 spectrometer equipped with a MCT detector. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was undertaken with a NETZSCH STA 449C instrument, and measurements were performed within the temperature ranged from 25 to 700 °C, heating at a rate of 20 °C/min under N2 atmosphere. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was performed on a NETZSCH DSC 200 PC unit within the temperature range of −50 to 300 °C, heating at a rate of 10 °C/min under N2 atmosphere. Raman spectra were obtained with a laser confocal microscope spectrometer produced by the American Thermoelectric Corporation. The surface morphologies of XMPC were visualized using SEM (SSX-550, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) study of the samples was carried out on a Bruker D8 Focus X-ray diffractometer operating at 30 kV and 20 mA with a copper target (l = 1.54 Å) and at a scanning rate of 1° min−1. The surface areas were determined by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) method (AUTOSORBiQ2, Quan-tachrome, Boynton Beach, FL, USA). Metal ion concentrations were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy (SSX-550, Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan).

Scanning Electron Microscopy Analysis of RADFP and SMADFP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) (model SSX-550; manufacturing company: Shimadzu, Japan) was used to examine the morphology, pore size, surface area, and volume of RADFP and SMADFP. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which uses pictures created by scanning with an electron beam, allows one to see the surface characteristics of solid materials (Tan et al., 2015 (link)). Prior to the SEM scanning, the sample was given a coating of gold or silver for 30 s at a current of 50 mA in order to make it conductive (at an accelerating voltage of 15 kV). After that, it was kept into a container for SEM analysis. Magnifications ranging from 20X to 5000X were used to capture scanning electron micrographs of the JSM 6380A.

Pure aluminum powder and the mixed powder were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM; SSX-550, Shimadzu Corporation, Kotyo, Japan) coupled by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). TEM (Transmission electron microscopy) was using to observe the graphene morphology. The tribological properties of the composites were measured using a MMW-1A configuration control universal wear testing machine (Jinan Yihua Friction Testing Technology Co., Ltd., Jinan, China) with a pin-on-disc apparatus, and friction pair and the disc are #45 steel and the mrGO-Cu/Al composites disk, respectively. The samples with size of 65 mm × 28 mm × 2.5 mm were polished with # 2000 sandpaper and treated by ultrasonic vibration in alcohol before wear test. The disc with hardness of HRC55 ~ 62, diameter of 30 mm and Ra = 3.2 μm was spun perpendicular to the sample surface, and the schematic diagram is shown in Figure 2. The friction and wear test was performed in an unlubricated condition under a load of 20 N with a rotation speed of 40 rpm. Friction coefficient is a function of friction time, which can be observed directly from the computer. The wear and friction coefficient experiment was carried out 3 times for each graphene content, and the results were averaged. After the test, the morphology of the worn surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and EDS.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The FTIR spectra of the LN-based adsorbents were recorded using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (TENSOR 27, Bruker Co.) in the wavenumber range of 500–4000 cm−1 with a resolution of 0.4 cm−1. The surface microstructures of LNEs and LNECs were observed directly by an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) (SSX-550, Shimadzu Co.). The point of zero charge of pH (pHzpc) of the LN-based adsorbents was determined by acid-base titration using an automatic titration system57 (link) (T50, Mettler Toledo). The contents of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of LNEs and LNECs were determined by Boehm titration method58 (link) using NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3 standard solutions for obtaining the contents of phenolic hydroxyl, lactone, and carboxyl groups on the LN-based adsorbents. The stability of LN, LNE2, and LNEC5 in water has been tested. Approximately 0.15 g of dried lignin-based material was dispersed in 900 mL of water at different pH conditions adjusted by using 0.1 mol/L HCl or 0.1 mol/L NaOH aqueous solutions. The dissolved lignin in water was determined using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer (UV2600A) at the wavelength of 280 nm.
The ESPs of five FQs (OFL, NOR, CIP, ENR, and FLE), two molecular probes (FLU and FPP), and two LN-based adsorbents (LNE and LENC) were theoretically optimized by DFT with Gaussian 09 program at b3lyp/6-31 g* level.

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.
