MXenes are an interesting family of 2D materials with potential applications. Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is a useful tool for understanding their nature. However, inconsistent curve fitting approaches and assumptions in previous studies have led to contrasting conclusions. This study presents realistic curve fittings using a first principles thinking strategy, providing a model for future XPS analysis of MXenes.
MXenes are an interesting family of 2D materials that have the potential to meet challenges in many applications. A useful tool in the work of understanding the nature of the MXenes, as well as exploring their capabilities, is Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In analyzing XPS spectra it might be necessary to use curve fitting to extract valuable information. However, approaches toward the curve fitting procedure have been different in many studies and introductions of questionable assumptions, unverified feature assignments, and inconsistent curve fitting have led to contrasting conclusions from XPS analysis. It is therefore motivated to show curve fittings of F 1s, O 1s, Ti 2p, and C 1s XPS spectra obtained from high quality Ti3C2Tx that are based on fundamental knowledge applied step by step through the strategy of first principles thinking. With the use of first principles thinking the curve fittings and the subsequent analysis became more realistic compared to what have been presented in recent studies. The results of the curve fittings presented in this work are well founded and can be used as a model for future curve fittings of MXenes. The strategy of first principles thinking is advantageous in XPS curve fittings in general.
