Abstract

In relation to debates in the recent literature on the utility and robustness of adventitious carbon for charge correction of X‐ray photoelectron spectra, the present work explores its application using 5 years' worth of data collected by the author. The data overwhelmingly show that regardless of spectrometer or charge compensation method, and but for a few exceptions where a secondary reference is preferrable, a C 1s value of 284.8 eV is suitable for electronically isolated samples.
