Abstract: | XPS and UPS spectra from oxygen adsorption at high temperature on polycrystalline nickel oxide surfaces pre-heated at 700°C and 1450°C are presented. Adsorption results in complete loss of surface charge on both surfaces. There is an increase in intensity of the 0(1s) 529.7 eV peak, attributed to O2? ions, and the spectra show a shift of intensity to the 854.6 eV peak due to Ni2+ ions. The results are compared with previous data from kinetic, conductivity and electrochemical measurements. Agreement with a model of O2? and nickel vacancy production is demonstrated. UPS spectra indicate considerable reorganisation of electronic charge in the surface of the 1450°C pre-heated oxide, after oxygen adsorption, giving an almost stoichiometric surface similar to that of a cleaved single crystal. |
