X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) Study of Layered Double Hydroxides with Different Exchangeable Anions by J. Theo Kloprogge

“…Overall, the influence of the nature of the interlayer anion on the binding energy of the elements (Mg, Al, O) in the layered double hydroxide structure is minimal and considered to be within the experimental error of XPS. A detailed analysis of XPS data in combination with infrared and Raman spectroscopy shows how XPS can provide additional information that is not readily available via vibrational spectroscopy. …”
