PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTRA OF ADSORBED CARBONATES Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • In order to provide photoelectron spectra for analytical purposes, X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectra for known surface species have been measured. The surface carbonate on Ag(110), formed by reacting gaseous CO2 with pre-adsorbed atomic oxygen, yields C 1s and O 1s peaks at 287.7 and 529.9 eV, respectively. The UPS results show features due to surface CO3 which scale well with those for bulk carbonates. These observations, coupled with the increase in work function that accompanies carbonate formation, suggest strongly that this surface species is negatively charged. 1983.
