Comparison with HP-CD raw material was performed.
The control of the growing material was performed by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED).
Additionally, thermal annealing on the sintered and laser consolidated material was performed.
For comparative purposes, the design of the material was performed using two different synthesis pathways.
By using commercially available raw materials, an up-scaled preparation of the storage material was performed using laboratory facilities.
The characterization of the hybrid composite material was performed using atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy techniques.
Preparation of RuOxHy/carbon black nanocomposite material was performed by the impregnation method starting from RuOxHy sol as a precursor.
Thermal analysis of the precursor material was performed with SI EXSTAR 6000 TG/DTA 6300 instrument (Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) between 25°C and 700°C in nitrogen atmosphere.
The recovery of enriched 43Ca target material was performed according to the previously-described method used for 44Ca (van der Meulen et al. 2015) at an equivalent efficiency.
The application of the test material was performed in crystallizing dishes, each filled with soil equivalent to 100 g dry weight.
The study of the obtained carbon material was performed by using the following electron scanning microscopes: JEOL JSM-6700 F and ZEISS EVO 50 XVP.
