Abstract: XPS was used to determine the Cu2p3/2, Ols and Nals binding energies in NaCuO2,CuO, Na2O2 and superconductor YBa2Cu3O~7 and to study the stability of NaCuO2.The chemical shifts of Cu2p3/2 and Ols levels between NaCuO2 and CuO were found to be + 1.2and -0.9eV respectively.NaCuO2 is unstable in moist air.When NaCuO2 was heated at 920℃ with subsequent annealing at 600℃ in air, no Cu3+ were detected.Meanwhile Cu3+ in NaCuO2 was reduced to Cu+ when the sample was heated in high vacuum.

Key words: XPS, NaCuO2, superconductor, YBa2Cu3O~7
