When performing X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of small powder sample volumes with the Bragg-Brentano setup, choosing an appropriate sample preparation method is important. This work provides practical information on the conventional top dusted sample preparation method and the top dusted adhesive tape sample preparation method. In the latter, the powder of interest is dusted onto an adhesive tape. Because adhesive tapes contribute to the measured XRD signal as background noise, care must be taken when using a particular adhesive tape. This work assists XRD users in selecting the most suitable adhesive tape for their purpose by providing the diffractograms (Cu α radiation) of 13 commercially available adhesive tapes used for office and packing applications. In general, tapes with a matte acetate or polyvinyl chloride backing are recommended as they cause a comparatively low background signal without high-intensity reflections.

Background: Dip-coating is a simple and cost-effective technique for synthesizing thin film sorptive phases in microextraction. The success of the coating (amount and homogeneity) relies dramatically on the wettability of the substrate, thus making the covering of smooth-surface substrates challenging. In these cases, prior to the slurry (particles and binder) deposition, the smooth-surface substrate typically requires an aggressive etching step (e.

Reversible protonic ceramic cells (R-PCCs) hold significant promise for energy storage and conversion. However, achieving high-performance, large-scale cells remains challenging, primarily due to issues with compatibility and adhesion at the electrode-electrolyte interface. Here, a scalable strategy is presented for regulating an active interface structure (AIS) via tape casting to develop high-performance, durable R-PCCs.
