Title: X-Ray Scattering and Imaging Studies of Electrode Structure and Dynamics

Abstract

Abstract We will review structures and dynamics of electrode interfaces studied in situ using x‐ray scattering and imaging techniques. The examples cover single‐crystal and nanocrystal structures relevant to electrocatalytic activities, anodic oxidation and corrosion, aqueous dissolution reactions, surface reconstructions, and surface modifications by under potential deposition. The x‐ray techniques include the widely used traditional surface x‐ray scattering, such as crystal truncation rods and x‐ray reflectivity, as well as recently developed resonance surface scattering, coherent surface x‐ray photon correlation spectroscopy, coherent x‐ray Bragg diffraction imaging, and surface ptychography. Results relevant to various electrochemical phenomena will be highlighted.

Figure 1 Figure 1: (a) A diffraction diagram for a momentum vector Q that has in-plane and normal components. The cylindrical object is an illustration of an electrochemical interface and ions in the double layer under the control of a potentiostat. $α$, and $β$ are the angles of incoming and exiting beamsmore » with respect to the electrode surface, and $φ$ is the in-plane angle of the exit beam. Vectors Ki and Ko indicate the directions of the incoming and existing x-ray beams. Vector Q is the momentum transfer, i.e., KoKi. Note that Q is decomposed to in-plane momentum transfer QII and normal momentum transfer Q. X-ray reflectivity is generally referred for the scans at QII≈0 ($φ$≈0) with typically small angles of $α$ and $β$. Specular CTR is along the direction of Q and off-specular CTRs are the direction of the vertical dashed arrows at the tip of Q. (b) An early electrochemical cell for x-ray diffraction studies in reflection mode. (c) An electrochemical cell in transmission mode used for xray reflectivity studies.« less
