Nanostructured carbon allotropes have a wide range of applications for the integration into functional and hybrid materials as well as essential element in integrated sensors and detectors. Their chemical functionalisation furthermore enhances the spectrum of application. Photoelectron spectroscopy is a material characterisation tool that supports the synthesis of such materials via enabling...
