Fabrication and Properties of Ag-nanoparticles Embedded Amorphous Carbon Nanowire/CNT Heterostructures

“…To analyze the C1 s spectrum of the AD-CNTs with a dose of 3 × 10 16 cm −2 in details, the C1 s peak was fitted by a Gaussian function with three components centered at 284.1, 285.9 and 288.0 eV, respectively. These components corresponded to graphite carbon [27] and organic carbon adsorbed [28,29]. Peaks centered at 368.2 eV in the XPS spectra were attributed to the Ag3d5 band and corresponded to elemental Ag [30] (Fig.…”

Application of a Doehlert experimental design to the optimization of an Au?Co plating electrolyte

“…XPS analysis shows a surface composed principally of carbon aliphatic form probably due to the adsorption of organic compounds present in the electrolyte (organic acids and salts). Figure 8 reveals four forms of carbon: CAC or CAH at 285 eV [42], CAO or CAN at 286.4 eV [43][44][45], C@O at 287.6 eV [46] and OAC@O at 288.6 eV [47]. Two forms of nitrogen are also revealed: CBN at 398 eV [48] and CAN or NAH at 400.5 eV [49] ( Figure 9).…”

Facile synthesis of differently shaped, ultrathin, and aligned graphene flakes without a catalyst for highly efficient field emission

“…Fig. 4 shows the XPS spectrum of the C1s peak for the AGFs prepared at 1000 K. De-convolution of the C1s peak shows three component peaks centered at 284, 285, and 288 eV, which correspond with SP 2 -and SP 3 -hybridized carbon [35,36], and the oxygen contamination [37], respectively. Since graphene is a SP 2 conjugated carbon network, the fraction of SP 3 -hybridized carbon (SP 3 %) can thus be adopted to roughly evaluate the amount of defects.…”
