“…In general, Co 2p 1/2 appears at 15.0 eV above Co 2p 3/2 for Co 3+ and 15.4 eV for Co 2+ . In both samples, Co 2p 1/2 peak is seen at 15.05 eV above Co 2p 3/2 , which confirms the 3+ oxidation state of Co [20][21]. Fig.…”

“…The Si 2p spectrum has decomposed into 103.5 and 102.3 eV, with an area intensity ratio of about 2:1. As reported by Mekki et al [20], the binding energy of SiO 4À 4 in sodium silicate was centered at 102.0 ± 0.2 eV. According to peak of SiO 2 was centered at 103.9 eV [21], the first component in the current specimen was assigned to Si-O 2 and thus the higher oxidation peak was attributed to silicon atoms belonging to isolated SiO 4À 4 .…”
“…This latter species is ascribed to a Co(II) complex where the metal ion is coordinated by ligands such as chlorides, and oxygen-or nitrogen-based electron donor functionalities of heterocyclic aromatic rings of the carbon-nitride matrix. The high-energy component was associated with a shake-up satellite line of Co(II) [38].…”

“…A careful inspection of XPS profiles in Co2p region indicates that: (a) no significant dependence of the oxidation state of cobalt on t f is revealed; (b) two components for Co2p located at about 781.3 and 786.3 eV are detected. The lower-energy component was ascribed to a Co(II) species [20,38]. This latter species is ascribed to a Co(II) complex where the metal ion is coordinated by ligands such as chlorides, and oxygen-or nitrogen-based electron donor functionalities of heterocyclic aromatic rings of the carbon-nitride matrix.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
