Ethan CrumlinSignificance: Combining ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy experiments and quantum mechanical density functional theory calculations, this work reveals the essential first step for activating CO 2 on a Cu surface, in particular, highlighting the importance of copper suboxide and the critical role of water. These findings provide the quintessential information needed to guide the future design of improved catalysts.

The electrochemical double layer plays a critical role in electrochemical processes. Whilst there have been many theoretical models predicting structural and electrical organization of the electrochemical double layer, the experimental verification of these models has been challenging due to the limitations of available experimental techniques. The induced potential drop in the electrolyte has never been directly observed and verified experimentally, to the best of our knowledge. In this study, we report the direct probing of the potential drop as well as the potential of zero charge by means of ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy performed under polarization conditions. By analyzing the spectra of the solvent (water) and a spectator neutral molecule with numerical simulations of the electric field, we discern the shape of the electrochemical double layer profile. In addition, we determine how the electrochemical double layer changes as a function of both the electrolyte concentration and applied potential.

About Me
I am a chemical-physicist with a strong skill-set in electrochemical surface science and extensive experience in synchrotron-based spectroscopies. I carried out my PhD research within several national and international project frameworks, at the Department of Chemical Sciences of the University of Padova (Italy) and at the Department of Physics of the Technische Universität München (TUM, Germany). I performed my post-doctoral research at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) and Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis (JCAP) in Berkeley, U.S.A. Now, as staff scientist at HZB my scientific research is focused on understanding fundamental physical/chemical properties of metals/ and semiconducting oxides/liquid electrolyte interfaces for application in solar water splitting and CO2 reduction reaction. In addition, I take care of the technical development of a new endstation at the BESSY II synchrotron facility, where I investigate the aforementioned interfaces with in situ Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (AP-XPS) and Ambient Pressure X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (AP-XAS).
