abstract = {To understand corrosion, energy storage,
(electro)catalysis, etc., obtaining chemical information on
the solid–liquid interface is crucial but remains
extremely challenging. Here, X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(XAS) is used to study the solid–liquid interface between
TiO2 and H2O. A thin film (6.7 nm) of TiO2 is deposited on
an X-ray-transparent SiNx window, acting as the working
electrode in a three-electrode flow cell. The spectra are
collected based on the electron emission resulting from the
decay of the X-ray-induced core-hole-excited atoms, which we
show is sensitive to the solid–liquid interface within a
few nm. The drain currents measured at the working and
counter electrodes are identical but of opposite sign. With
this method, we found that the water layer next to anatase
is spectroscopically similar to ice. This result highlights
the potential of electron-yield XAS to obtain chemical and
structural information with a high sensitivity for the
species at the electrode–electrolyte interface.},
