X ray photoelectron spectroscope

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The X-ray photoelectron spectroscope is an analytical instrument used to measure the elemental composition and chemical state of the surface of a material. It works by irradiating a sample with X-rays and analyzing the energy of the emitted photoelectrons.

A Cu-Kα radiation X-ray diffractometer (Rigaku Inc., Tokyo, Japan) was used for X-ray powder diffractometry (XRD) to verify the formation of the products. A Raman spectrometer (Horiba Inc., Paris, France) was used to analyze the crystal structure of the prepared samples. An X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (Thermo Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) recorded the samples’ X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS). A Fourier Infrared Spectrometer (Thermo Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) was used to record the Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrum (S2) of the samples. The SEM micrographs were collected using a field emission environmental scanning electron microscope (FEI Inc., Hillsboro, OR, USA) equipped with an EDX microanalyzer. A field emission high-resolution projection electron microscope (FEI Inc., Hillsboro, OR, USA) was used to characterize the morphology of the prepared samples (S3).

The elemental composition and chemical state of the samples were measured by a Thermo Fisher X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (non-monochromated Al Kα radiation, photon energy 1486.7 eV). And the spectrometer was calibrated by the binding energy of C1s line (284.6 eV). The microstructure of the samples was examined on their surfaces and fractural cross-sections by FE-SEM (LEO-1530). From the obtained SEM images, the grain size and film thickness of the samples were evaluated by the Nano Measurer software. The elemental distribution in the samples was analyzed by an attached EDX system. The phase composition of the samples was identified by grazing incidence XRD (GI-XRD, D/max-RB, Cu Kα radiation, and λ = 1.5418 Å) through a continuous scanning mode at a speed of 6°/min with an X-ray incidence angle of 0.5°.

UV-vis absorption spectra were obtained using a Lambda EZ210 UV-vis spectrophotometer (Perkin Elmer, USA). Fluorescence spectra were obtained using an F-7000 Fluorescence Spectrophotometer (Hitachi, Japan). The excitation and emission slits were both maintained at 5.0 nm and 5.0 nm. Versatile disc fluorescence/absorption spectra were recorded on Infinite 200 PRO (Tecan, USA). The morphology and mean diameter of C-dot@β-CD were obtained using a transmission electron microscope (TEM, JEM-2100, Hitachi, Japan). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was conducted using an X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (K-Alpha, Thermo, USA). Cyclic voltammetry was carried out on the CHI624A electrochemical system (Chenhua Instrument, USA). Cyclic voltammograms were measured using an electrochemical workstation (Chenhua Instrument CHI624A, USA) with a conventional three-electrode system including a glassy carbon electrode as the working electrode. Ag/AgCl and platinum wire were used as the reference electrode and counter electrode, respectively.35 (link)

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.
