A critical analysis of the X-ray photoelectron spectra of Ti3C2Tz MXenes

Varun Natu, Mohamed Benchakar, Christine Canaff et al. · 16 Feb 2021

Since their discovery in 2011, MXenes have garnered worldwide interest. Given their 2D structure, surface, or termination, chemistries play a vital role in most applications. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is one of the most common characterization tools for quantifying surface terminations and overall chemistry. Herein, we critically review the XPS fitting models proposed for Ti…

Matter template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Matter format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Matter template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Elsevier format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Matter use?
Matter uses Numbered (Elsevier) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, C. Lee, A representative article title, Matter 12 (2023) 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Matter?
No. DocuGuru generates the elsarticle LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Elsevier-ready Matter document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Matter template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Matter format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Matter?
Matter is a multidisciplinary journal published by Elsevier. DocuGuru's Matter template matches Elsevier's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Matter PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Matter template (the elsarticle class) that is ready to submit to Elsevier, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Matter template cost?
You can start writing in the Matter template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Matter PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
