A critical analysis of the X-ray photoelectron spectra of Ti3C2Tz MXenes
Open accessAbstract
Since their discovery in 2011, MXenes have garnered worldwide interest. Given their 2D structure, surface, or termination, chemistries play a vital role in most applications. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is one of the most common characterization tools for quantifying surface terminations and overall chemistry. Herein, we critically review the XPS fitting models proposed for Ti 3 C 2 T z MXene in the literature and make the case that they are at best incomplete and at worst contradictory. We propose a new fitting algorithm based on all the data obtained from previously published studies and propose a new method for quantifying the surface terminations in Ti 3 C 2 T z . In our approach, we assign the Ti 2p peak at 455.1 eV to the C–Ti–O\O\O, and the peaks at 456.0, 457.0, 457.9, and 459.6 eV are assigned to C–Ti–O\O\F, C–Ti–O\F\F, C–Ti–F\F\F, and TiO 2-x F 2x , respectively. The first four represent possible Ti atom terminations; the last is an oxyfluoride. The C 1s peak at 282 eV, ascribed to C atoms surrounded by 6 Ti atoms, is so universal that it can almost be used as a reference.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
