“…At the same time, the sulfur content in M(AC-PS) is 14.85%, and the O/S mass ratio is 2.75, which is much higher than the ratio in PS, indicating the presence of a large number of oxygen-containing functional groups on the AC in M(AC-PS). The C 1s XPS spectrum of MAC (Figure 4a) was deconvoluted into five peaks at 284.8, 286.3, 287.7, 289.3, and 290.4 eV, corresponding to C-C (75.83%) [44], C-OH (16.56%), C=O (carbonyl, 3.11%), O=C-OH (carboxyl, 4.17%), and π-π* shake-up satellite (0.36%) [45], respectively. The C1s XPS spectrum of M(AC-PS) (Figure 4b) has six peaks at 284.8, 286.2, 289.8, 290.1, 292.5, and 293 eV, among which 284.8 and 286.2 eV correspond to C-C (14.8%) and C-OH (6.01%), respectively.…”
