Electrochemical cells for in situ XAS studies

Abstract

The present chapter provides a brief overview of electrochemical cells for in situ X-ray absorption (XAS) studies, together with the advantages and disadvantages of the existing cells and some requirements for new cell designs to perform experiments. Understanding of electrochemical reactions at the electrode–electrolyte interface is crucial not only for fundamental electrochemical research, but also for the development of electrochemical devices such as fuel cells, batteries, electrolyzers, supercapacitors and so on. In situ XAS with appropriate electrochemical cells provides information on atomic structures, oxidation/electronic states and adsorbate species of the catalytic surface during the course of an electrochemical reaction and thus is an indispensable tool for electrocatalytic/corrosion studies. Many electrochemical cells for in situ XAS have been developed. In this chapter, the focus will mainly be on electrochemical cells employed for electrocatalytic studies.
