“…45 The Co 2p peaks of CDs-M-CIO at 781.5 eV (Co 2+ 2p 3/2 ) and 796.6 eV (Co 2+ 2p 1/2 ) shift to higher binding energies, probably due to electrons deviated from M-Co 3 O 4 caused by the intimate interface of the CDs-M-CIO heterojunction. 20,46 As shown in Fig. 2l, the O 1s spectrum of M-In 2 O 3 can be fitted by three peaks at 529.7, 531.2 and 532.4 eV, attributable to In–O lattice oxygen (O L ), oxygen vacancies (O V ) and surface-bound hydroxyls (O OH ), respectively, and the peaks of M-Co 3 O 4 are located at 530 eV (O L ), 531.3 eV (O V ) and 533.0 eV (O OH ).…”
