XPS analyses were
carried out with a Kratos Axis Ultra DLD (Kratos Ltd., Manchester,
UK) using a monochromatic Al Kα X-ray source (1486.6 eV, emission
current: 10 mA, anode voltage: 15 kV). The instrument base pressure
remained below 8.0 × 10^–10 Pa. The instrument
work function was calibrated to a binding energy of 84.0 eV for metallic
gold (Au 4f_7/2). The charge neutralizer was used for all
analyses (filament current: 2.1 A, charge balance: 3.45 V, and filament
bias: 1.5 V). The charge neutralization was monitored with the help
of the C 1s peak for adventitious carbon. Survey spectra were acquired
at a pass energy of 80 eV with 20 sweeps and an energy step of 1 eV.
The high-resolution spectra were acquired at a pass energy of 20 eV
with 10 sweeps and an energy step of 0.1 eV. The analysis area was
300 μm × 700 μm. Data were processed using the commercial
software CasaXPS (version 2.3.16, Casa Software Ltd., Chichester,
UK). All spectra were recorded in the spectroscopy mode utilizing
the hybrid lens mode. For each sample, at least three independent
measurements were performed. The binding energies were calibrated
using the C 1s peak for adventitious carbon at a binding energy of
284.8 eV, with an associated error of ∼0.1–0.2 eV.^{38 (link)} No argon ion sputter cleaning has been performed

A Kratos Axis Ultra DLD (Kratos Analytical Ltd., U.K.) instrument, equipped with a hemispherical analyzer and a monochromatic AlKα (1486.6eV) X-ray source in spectroscopy mode, was used to analyze the samples. The emission angle between the analyzer axis and the normal sample surface was 0° or 60° (sampling depth of approximately 10 or 2–3 nm [22 (link)]). The following core lines were acquired: O 1s, C 1s, N 1s, S 2p and Au 4f. The quantification, reported as a relative elemental percentage, was performed by using the integrated area of the fitted core lines (after Shirley background subtraction) and by correcting for the atomic sensitivity factors through a dedicated software [23 (link)]. This procedure provided a quantitative analysis, which was useful for the chemical characterization of the surface at different modification steps.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
