“…The component at (∼282 eV) present in both spectra has been attributed to the contribution from C−C (sp 3 ). 46 The remaining components, C2 (∼284.6 eV), C3 (∼286.5 eV), C4 (∼288.7 eV), C5 (∼291 eV), and C6 (∼293.5 eV), are ascribed, respectively, to C�C (sp 2 ), CH/C−C, COOH or COO − , π−π* transition, 47 and a highly oxidized species such as C−F, 48 possibly attributed to the production process, which is unique for C 2 . Small variations between the relative distributions of components are seen, especially in the C3 and C5 components.…”
