Solid/vapor, liquid/vapor and liquid/solid interfaces govern many processes in the environment, heterogeneous catalysis, and technology. Ambient pressure photoelectron spectroscopy is an excellent method for the characterization of these interfaces under operating conditions, in particular since it affords to correlate the elemental and chemical composition at the interface with the electrical potentials. This talk will focus on the application of APXPS to the investigation of liquid/solid surfaces under realistic conditions, which is arguably the next frontier in surface science. We will highlight the application of ambient pressure XPS in combination with standing waves for the investigation of the electric double layer at solid liquid interfaces in environmental science and corrosion chemistry.
