Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) is a surface-sensitive analytical technique that provides information about the elemental composition, chemical state, and electronic structure of a material's surface ...

XPS relies on the photoelectric effect, where irradiating a material with X-rays causes the emission of core electrons. The kinetic energy of these emitted electrons is measured, which can be directly ...

The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) plays a pivotal role in governing the performance and stability of lithium (Li) batteries. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a powerful technique for ...

X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is one of the most important and widely used methods for determining surface chemistry of materials. Cryo-XPS, where the sample is cooled to temperatures below ...

Within materials science, the surface is often where the most important interactions occur. Whether the focus is corrosion, catalysis, adhesion, or biomaterials, the outermost atomic layers determine ...
