Figure S1. XPS analysis for CuSA2 coating: (a) survey spectra, (b) Cu 2p spectra, (c) C 1s spectra. XPS is used to characterize the sample, and it does provides valuable information on the chemical compositions of the sample. From survey spectrum of CuSA2 coating in Figure S1a, it can be obviously observed that oxygen, carbon and Cu are main composition of the as-prepared particles. The peaks centered at 934.8 and 954.3 eV (Figure S1b) are ascribed to Cu2p3/2 and Cu2p1/2 of Cu2+, respectively.1 Figure S1c exhibits the multielement spectra of C1s, which are resolved into two components belonged to C–C/C–H and –COO groups.2 The peak signals centered at 288.6 eV is attributed to the –COO. Quantitative analysis of the surface chemical composition unambiguously supported that the atomic ratio of Cu and carbon (coordinated COO) is about 1:2, confirming successful formation of CuSA2, which is consistent with the reported work.2 Figure S2a presents the FT-IR spectra of copper stearate (CuSA2) and stearic acid particles, respectively. The peak centered at around 1702 cm−1 is assigned to carbonyl stretch of stearic acid, which is absent in the spectrum of copper stearate. Meanwhile, the appearance of the peaks at about 1587 cm−1 and 1471 cm−1 in the spectrum of copper stearate are attributed to m(COO)asym and m(COO)sym, stemming from the 3
formation of stearate.3 The FT-IR spectra of other stearate salts were also shown in Figure S2b-S2e.
