Multiple new ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) endstations are currently under planning or development at US and international synchrotron light sources. Most of the research has been focused on the solid-gas interfaces. [1] Recently we have installed a new hard x-ray AP-XPS endstation at ALS Beamline 9.3.1 (2.5keV- 5keV). By using X-ray up to 5KeV, we can perform AP-XPS at a pressure up to 110 torr. The probing depth of photoelectrons also increases to >10 nm, which will allow us to study not only the gas/solid interface but also the liquid/solid interface. [2] In this talk, I will present results of in-situ studies on the electrolyte/electrode interface of a working model electrochemical cell. I will also give a brief introduction on the APXPS development in Shanghai.

We believe the successful development of soft and hard X-ray APXPS techniques will provide us and community beyond a powerful in-situ tool to directly study interface phenomena at Solid-Gas and Solid-Liquid Interfaces.
