Developing low‐cost and efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalysts is key to
decarbonization. A facile, surfactant‐free, and gram‐level biomass‐assisted fast heating and …

Although the fundamental, theoretical peak shape in X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS) is Lorentzian, some Gaussian character is observed in most XPS signals. Additional …

A quantitative study of the surface composition of clean metallic and partially oxidized nickel
exposed to oxygen was carried out employing X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). By …

This paper addresses the challenges of fitting asymmetric photoelectron peaks by showing
that the use of the double Lorentzian (DL) line shape usually leads to high-quality, reliable …

Size-selected iron oxide nanoclusters are outstanding candidates for technological-oriented
applications due to their high efficiency-to-cost ratio. However, despite many theoretical …

In this work, we study the effect of nickel incorporation (0, 2, 4, and 6)% on the structure of
sol-gel BiFeO 3 films. Besides, we used thermal treatments in two ambient, namely …

Introduction: The block approach (BA) is a refinement of spectrum subtraction. It is employed
to robustly discriminate extra features in the spectrum from a modified sample. It was …

In the year 2000, the Block Approach (BA) was first developed to characterize the surface
reaction of strontium on silicon [1]. It is a refinement of spectrum-subtraction [1, 2]. It is …
