(a, b) The atomic percentage evolution of the C, Cd, S and Ag elements in as-prepared CdS nanosheet films by XPS depth profile analysis. (c–f) XPS spectra evolution of C1s, Cd3d, S2p and Ag3d during depth profiling. (g, h) Energy Dispersive Spectrum (EDS) elemental mapping and line scan of a CdS:Ag nanosheet. The Cd–K, Ag–K and S-K signals are presented in yellow, wine and red colors in Figure 5g.
