Growth of NiO ultrathin films on Pd(100) by post-oxidation of Ni films: the effect of pre-adsorbed oxygen

Electrocatalytic performance for methanol oxidation on nanoporous Pd/NiO composites prepared by one-step dealloying

“…The corresponding satellite peaks adjacent to the main peaks centered on 862.5 and 880.3 eV with a width of approximately 6 eV, which agrees with the report of the Ref. [30][31][32]. Ni 2p 3/2 splitting spectra are shown in the insert of Fig.…”

“…The Ni 2p spectrum exhibited doublet peaks at 856.4 and 873.8 eV with a distance around 17.4 eV, corresponding to Ni (2p 3/2 ) and Ni (2p 1/2 ) peaks of NiO, according to the report of the Ref. [29,30]. The corresponding satellite peaks adjacent to the main peaks centered on 862.5 and 880.3 eV with a width of approximately 6 eV, which agrees with the report of the Ref.…”

Investigation on the microscopic features of layered oxide Li[Ni1/3Co1/3Mn1/3]O2 and their influences on the cathode properties

“…Binding energy of Mn 2p 3 / 2 was determined at the same 642.4 eV for all samples, which corresponds to Mn 4+ [17,18]. In Ni 2p 3 / 2 spectra, a satellite peak was commonly detected around 861 eV due to the multiple splitting of energy level as usually observed in nickel oxide systems [19,20]. Binding energy of Ni 2p 3 / 2 was determined around 854.1 -854.2 eV for three samples, confirming the divalent state Ni 2+ , though a trace of Ni 3+ cannot be completely excluded.…”

“…Though metal ions are regarded as randomly distributed in lattice from XRD analysis, short-range fluctuations of chemical 20 composition in lattice cannot be completely discarded. As this compositional variation becomes large, it is more and more susceptible to form micro-domains in which the magnetic ions Ni 2+ and Mn 4+ are enriched and diamagnetic Co 3+ is relatively diluted.…”

Growth and structure of thin MnO films on Ag(001) in dependence on film thickness

“…This has stimulated several groups to investigate the growth of more complex oxidic films by means of XPD [11]. There are contributions in the study of TiO x films on Pt(1 1 1) [12,13] and Pt(1 0 0) [14], NiO films on Pd(1 0 0) [15] and on Ag(0 0 1) [16], CoO films on Fe(0 0 1) [17], epitaxial chromium oxide films on Ag(1 1 1) [18], SiO 2 films on 4H-SiC(0 0 0 1) [19], MnO ultrathin films on Pt(1 1 1) [20,21], various vanadium oxide phases and RuO 2 on TiO 2 (1 1 0) [21], ultrathin epitaxial PbTiO 3 films on Nb-doped SrTiO 3 [22], to give a few examples. In all discussions the FS model is stressed in order to get a first insight into the short-range order of films.…”
