Abstract
A performance test of near-ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (NAP-XPS) at Korean Basic Science Institute (KBSI) in Daejeon, Korea is carried out. The NAP-XPS at KBSI is equipped with SPECS PHOIBOS 150 analyzer and 2-dimensional-delay line detector, which provides improved detection efficiency with 1-dimensional chemical imaging mode. The in-situ gas-pressure cell is designed to operate at pressure up to 25 mbar with differential pumping scheme. A micro-focused AlKα X-ray source is utilized as photon excitation source. The NAP-XPS is composed of two separate chambers, e.g. a main preparation chamber and a measurement chamber, which hold a low energy electron diffraction, a high pressure cell, an ion sputter gun, a multi-cell E-beam evaporators, and a four-axis manipulator with heating and cooling capability. As a test run of NAP-XPS, a CO oxidation experiment is carried out on Pt3Ti polycrystalline surface. During the active phase of CO oxidation, a clear formation of Ti oxide is found on surface, revealing the intriguing role of surface metal oxide in surface chemical reaction.
