X-Ray Diffraction in grazing incidence is a well-established technique
to probe surfaces at the atomic level. Structural information can be
extracted only for well-prepared surfaces, usually in ultra-high
vacuum environment (UHV). The same technique can be applied to the
interface between a solid substrate and a liquid, e.g. water bonding
on a surface or interaction with a liquid electrolyte, and gives
access to informations such as surface coverage and roughness in order
to build up a 3D image of the electrode surface at the atomic scale.
Several examples will be shown to illustrate such experiments
performed on ID32 beamline using a portable chamber to maintain the
UHV conditions during measurement after preparation in a UHV lab and
allowing the subsequent contact with the electrochemical cell in
controlled atmosphere.
