The instrument work function was calibrated to give a binding energy (BE) of 83.96 eV for the Au 4f7/2 line for metallic gold and the spectrometer dispersion was adjusted to give a BE of 932.62 eV for the Cu 2p3/2 line of metallic copper. The Kratos charge neutralizer system was used on all specimens. Survey scan analyses were carried out with an analysis area of 300 × 700 μm2 and a pass energy of 160 eV. High resolution analyses were carried out with an analysis area of 300 × 700 μm2 and a pass energy of 20 eV. Spectra have been charging corrected to the main line of the carbon 1s spectrum (adventitious carbon) set to 284.8 eV. Spectra were analysed using CasaXPS software. Survey scans and high-resolution spectra of C 1s, O 1s, S 2p and Mo 3d were recorded and analyzed of all doped conductive MoS2 and 2H–MoS2 including hydrogen evolution reaction. 2H–MoS2 was used as a reference for comparison.

A Renishaw inVia Raman spectrometer was used to characterize the defect level of the graphene film. A Renishaw 633 nm HeNe laser with 17 mW power output was focused through the 50× objective lens with a spot size of about 1.5 μm.

Survey scans were collected from an area of 300 × 700 µm2 using a pass energy of 160 eV. High-resolution scans used a pass energy of 20 eV. All spectra were charge corrected to the mainline of C 1s (graphitic carbon, 284.5 eV). Spectra were analyzed using CasaXPS software (version 2.3.14).

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.
