Experimental Methods

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. XPS spectra were collected on a PHI Genesis spectrometer using an aluminum anode X-ray source with a photon energy of 1486.6 eV. Survey spectra were collected with a 25 W, 15 kV source producing a 100 µm beam with a scan range of 1100 to 0 eV with a step size of 0.5 eV and pass energy of 280 eV. High resolution spectra were collected with a step size of step size of 0.1 eV and pass energy of 26 eV.

Experimental Methods

X-ray Absorption Fine Structure / X-ray Emission Spectroscopy. XAFS  / XES spectra were collected on a (easyXAFS easyXES150 / easyXAFS Brimstone) spectrometer using a tungsten anode X-ray source. Spectra were collected with 70W from on the Fe K edge with 0.25 eV steps for a duration of 2 seconds per point.
