Dataset supporting "In situ X-ray reflectivity and GISAXS study of mesoporous silica films grown from sodium silicate solution precursors"

This dataset includes data relating to mesoporous silica films grown from sodium silicate solution precursors: dynamic light scattering (DLS) data for solutions containing cetrimonium bromide and sodium nitrate; small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data for films contain cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), silica and polyethylenimine (PEI), and silica film; thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) data recording the decomposition of CTAB–PEI–silica in air with temperature; in-situ X-ray reflectivity (XRR) data, surface pressure data, and grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GISAXS) data for the interface between the solution (sodium silicate, CTAB, PEI) and air; and nitrogen sorption data.

Keywords:
small angle scattering, silica film, air-solution interface, X-ray reflectivity, grazing incidence small angle scattering

Documentation

Data collection method:

Full details of the methodology can be found in the Experimental section of the associated paper.

Data processing and preparation activities:

The XRR data were normalised.

Technical details and requirements:

All the data are plotted in Igor Pro software, https://www.wavemetrics.com/.

Additional information:

SAXS data has three columns: Q (x axis), scattering intensity (y axis) and error for scattering intensity. GISAXS data are images. XRR data has three columns: Q as x axis, reflectivity (y axis) and error in y axis. Surface pressure data contains two columns: time and surface pressure.
