One composition of Pr–Ce mixed oxide and a range of compositions of Pr–Zr mixed oxide were prepared by coprecipitation methods and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Based on phases formed, the PrOy—ZrO2 system in an oxygen-containing atmosphere at moderate temperatures (up to 800–1000 °C) is analogous to that of CeO2–ZrO2. Addition of either Ce or Zr to pure Pr oxide affects both the total amount of oxygen that can be reversibly exchanged between oxide and gas phase and the kinetics of the redox processes. Ce dramatically increases the amount (per Pr atom) and lowers the temperature of exchange, Zr slightly decreases the amount and also lowers the temperature of exchange, and both modifiers speed up the rate. These observations are rationalized in terms of bulk and surface structural features of the mixed oxides.

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) has been used to investigate the oxidation of (011) Ge substrates. The sample surfaces were CP4-etched, then annealed in situ, at different temperatures, for various durations. Dry and wet atmospheres were used. The oxidation rate during the early stage was increased by the presence of moisture in the atmosphere. A simple model was used to define and determine an apparent thickness of the oxide film from XPS measurements. The time dependence of the apparent thickness is consistent with a partial coverage of the surface by oxide islands. The growth kinetics of the oxide islands obeys a nearly cubic law.

Abstract It is of great significance to remove Cr(VI) from water as a result of its high toxicity. Biochar from corn straw was modified by different acids (HNO3, H2SO4 and H3PO4) to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. To estimate the removal mechanisms of Cr(VI) by the acid-modified biochars, batch experiments were performed in the light of contact time, Cr(VI) concentration, and pH, and the characteristics of acid-modified biochars before and after Cr(VI) adsorption were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI) by acid-modified biochars were consistent with the pseudo-second-order model, and the adsorption isotherm obeyed the Freundlich model. Furthermore, the acid- modified biochars could supply more oxygen-containing functional groups (-COOH and -OH) as electron donor (e−) and hydrogen ion (H+) to enhance the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), resulting in enhanced removal of Cr(VI). HNO3-modified biochar exhibited the highest removal efficiency of Cr(VI). In general, the acid modifition of biochar was an effective method to increase the removal of Cr(VI).

The gas phase X-ray photoelectron spectra, XPS, were observed for the series C6F5X (X = F, Cl, I, Br, H). Binding energies were determined from the spectra using the ESCAPLOT Program. Charge calculations were carried out using Equalization of Electronegativity, CNDO/2, and ACHARGE approaches on each molecule. The more sophisticated analysis leads to the following equation correlating the (C 1s) binding energies and the atomic charges qi[Formula: see text]

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) were used to examine the kinetics of nitrogen adsorption on the Ti(0001) surface at temperatures from 220 to 570 K and adsorption exposures from 0 to 1000 L. At the adsorption temperature T=300 K two chemically nonequivalent states of nitrogen were found: NI (1×1 lattice) localized in octapores between the first and second titanium monolayers and NII (presumably [Formula: see text] structure) on the titanium surface. The third nitrogen state, N0 , which is also localized on the surface but has unoccupied octapores in the nearest neighborhood, is observed with a decrease in the adsorption temperature to 220 K. A model of nitrogen interaction with the Ti(0001) surface in vacuum was proposed proceeding from the temperature dependence of the kinetic adsorption curves.
