100. Adventures at liquid surfaces and interfaces

Moshe Deutsch (Bar-Ilan University, Israel)

17/07/2024, 09:00

Keynote

Liquid surfaces and interface abound in living matter, industrial processes, and everyday life and activities. Elucidating their structure is prerequisite to the understanding of the functionalities involved and thus highly important. This talk will address briefly some of the liquid surfaces and interfaces studied to date by x-ray methods, e.g. “simple” liquids like water [1] and liquid...

Invited

The need for sustainable energy, reduction of pollutants, and the environmental benign processing of chemicals has spurred worldwide scientific activities in electrochemical energy science and electrocatalysis. These processes occur at the interfaces of solid catalyst materials in contact with complex liquid environments and under conditions involving high reaction rates, pronounced mass...

113. In situ x-ray diffraction studies of the atomic structure and charge distribution at the electrochemical interface

Yvonne Grunder (University of Liverpool)

Invited

The presence of specifically adsorbed anions can significantly affect the electrochemical reactivity of a metal electrode which is of major interest for galvanic deposition, etching, corrosion and electrocatalysis. In-situ surface x-ray diffraction has enabled an atomic/molecular-level understanding of the interface under reactive conditions, including its potential and time dependence, to be...
