XPS can provide a wealth of information about catalysts, including: - Elemental Composition: Identifies the elements present on the catalyst surface. - Chemical States: Determines the oxidation states and chemical environments of the elements. - Quantitative Analysis: Offers quantitative data on the concentration of elements. - Depth Profiling: Provides information about the distribution of elements below the surface. - Chemical Shifts: Detects small changes in binding energies that indicate different chemical states or environments.
