XRD and FESEM were used for morphological characterization of nano phase, while FTIR and EDX analysis were adopted for characterization of chemical moieties in composites.
For morphological characterization of NPs, TEM images as in Figs. 3 and 4 were obtained which shows clear distinction of particle size reduction in case of surfactant used.
In this interlaboratory comparison, an industry reference carbon black, SRB8, was analysed with a protocol based on ASTM D3849-14a, a method for morphological characterization of carbon black aggregates using electron microscopy.
A FEI SIRION 200 FESEM (FEI, U.S.A., resolving power of 3.0 nm at 5 kV) and JEM-2010 TEM (OXFORD, U.K., point resolution of 0.25 nm) were used for morphological characterization of PAA. Figure 1a shows the AFM image of PAA template with very good regularity fabricated in 0.3 M oxalic acid under 40 V.
OM and SEM-EDS were used for the morphological characterization of the samples.
Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM; FEI Quanta 200 F, FEI, Hillsboro, OR, USA) was employed for the morphological characterization of the TiO2 nanotube samples.
A field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM; Hitachi S4800, Hitachi, Ltd., Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan) was employed for the morphological characterization of the TN films.
A scanning electron microscope Hitachi FE-SEM S4800 and a transmission electron microscope (TEM) JEM-2100 were employed for the morphological characterization of the TiO2 nanotubular layers.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is an important technique for the morphological characterization of GO and graphene materials and is also capable of imaging and evaluating the surface morphology and properties [54 58].
As far as could be ascertained, this article presents the first open report on the preparation and morphological characterization of nanocomposite sodalite/ceramic membranes for pre-combustion CO2 capture.
