Quantitative X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS) analysis combined with spectral modeling of photoelectrons can be valuable while investigating the surface chemistry of nanoparticles (NPs) with different morphologies. Herein, with the use of NIST Simulation of Electron Spectra for Surface Analys...
