“…As indicated in Figure 2 b, three peaks at 531.9, 533.4, and 536.0 eV were attributed to C=O, C–OH, and O=C–OH [ 26 , 27 ]. The C 1s spectrum is divided into three peaks with binding energies of 286.3, 285.4, and 284.6 eV, corresponding to C–S, C=N, and C–C/C=C [ 28 ]. In the S 2p spectrum ( Figure 2 c), the peaks at 160.5 and 162.7 eV correspond to S 2p 1/2 and S 2p 3/2 , respectively, whereas the peak at 164.08 eV is attributed to C–S–C bonding [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ].…”
