Investigations of graphene nanosheets and oxidized graphene nanosheets were carried out using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy investigations were used in addition to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that functional carboxyl and epoxide groups were removed from samples due to argon bombardment in studies of oxidized graphene nanosheets with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Thus the ОKα-band was not revealed in oxidized graphene nanosheets owing to oxygen removal due to electron bombardment with the use of. ultra-soft X-ray emission spectroscopy.
