Characterising 2D materials is a crucial aspect of advancing nanoscience and nanotechnology. These materials, which are essentially one or two atoms thick, exhibit unique and extraordinary properties that make them promising candidates for various applications, such as electronics, optoelectronics, and energy storage. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) offers valuable information about the electronic structure and chemical composition.  Due to the dimension of the material, careful interpretation of XPS data is often required.

Surface analysis plays a crucial role in understanding and improving the adhesion properties of materials. Adhesion, the ability of two surfaces to stick together, is a critical factor in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. By applying surface analysis techniques, scientists and engineers can gain valuable insights into the factors influencing adhesion and develop strategies to enhance it.
