Photoelectron spectroscopy study of oxygen vacancy on vanadium oxides surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thermal properties of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) thin films have been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). XPS and UPS data demonstrate that V2O5 thin films are gradually reduced by annealing in the ultrahigh vacuum chamber at temperatures up to 400 8C due to the formation of oxygen vacancy. The oxygen defect in the remaining thin film leads to the appearance of a new emission line at about 10.3 eV in the valence bands, which is direct evidence for oxygen vacancy on a solid surface. # 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Vanadium oxides on rutile TiO2(110)-(1×1) and (1×2) surfaces have been prepared under ultrahigh vacuum conditions by evaporation of vanadium in background O2 and characterized by various vacuum surface analytical techniques. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED), high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (...
متن کاملImproved chemical and electrochemical stability of perovskite oxides with less reducible cations at the surface.
Segregation and phase separation of aliovalent dopants on perovskite oxide (ABO3) surfaces are detrimental to the performance of energy conversion systems such as solid oxide fuel/electrolysis cells and catalysts for thermochemical H2O and CO2 splitting. One key reason behind the instability of perovskite oxide surfaces is the electrostatic attraction of the negatively charged A-site dopants (f...

Any substantial move of energy sources from fossil fuels to renewable resources requires large scale storage of excess energy, for example, via power to fuel processes. In this respect electrochemical reduction of CO2 may become very important, since it offers a method of sustainable CO production, which is a crucial prerequisite for synthesis of sustainable fuels. Carbon dioxide reduction in s...
متن کاملAnalysis of oxygen vacancy in Co-doped ZnO using the electron density distribution obtained using MEM
Oxygen vacancy (VO) strongly affects the properties of oxides. In this study, we used X-ray diffraction (XRD) to study changes in the VO concentration as a function of the Co-doping level of ZnO. Rietveld refinement yielded a different result from that determined via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), but additional maximum entropy method (MEM) analysis led it to compensate for the differe...
