X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of oxygen-containing layers formed by a linear potential scan on stepped gold (111) films in aqueous 1 M sulphuric acid
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data of oxygen-containing layers (O-layers) made on stepped gold (111) film electrodes from aqueous 1 M sulphuric acid by single linear potential scans at 0.10 V s−1 and 298 K are reported. The potential scan covered from the open circuit potential to anodic sw...
