Solid–Liquid Interfaces

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
XAFS Techniques for Catalysts, Nanomaterials, and Surfaces

Abstract

Various interesting processes are taking place at solid–liquid interfaces, i.e., electrode–electrolyte interfaces, and therefore the electronic and geometric structures play crucial roles in those interfacial processes. X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) allows us to clarify not only the interfacial static structures but also the dynamic structural changes in situ and in real time, because x-rays can penetrate through the liquid phase without significant loss in intensity. In this chapter, applications of in situ XAFS to various electrode–electrolyte interfaces are briefly overviewed from the viewpoint of fundamental electrochemistry and several examples of in situ XAFS studies on electrocatalytic reactions are presented.
