Figure 3From: Stabilization of mid-sized silicon nanoparticles by functionalization with acrylic acidXPS C 1 s spectra of acrylic acid-functionalized nanoparticles. The maximum of the C-C peak is lying at 287.1 eV, and the Si-C peak is centered at 285.4 eV, displaying a shift of 1.7 eV. The peak attributed to the carboxyl group is located at 291 eV.Back to article page
