XPS relies on the photoelectric effect, where irradiating a material with X-rays causes the emission of core electrons. The kinetic energy of these emitted electrons is measured, which can be directly ...
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a popular analytical technique in materials science as it can assess the surface chemistry of a broad range of samples. This Primer concerns best practice in ...
A recent article in Advanced Materials Interfaces presented a method to more accurately determine the surface chemistry of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes. The authors used energy-dependent X-ray photoelectron ...
