Thanks to the new third-generation high energy synchrotron radiation s
ources it is now possible to study electrochemical interfaces in situ
using a cell fulfilling all the electrochemistry requirements. We are
presenting here one version of this cell type, especially designed for
surface X-ray diffraction. Its geometry allows in and out of plane da
ta collection with the voltammetry fully controlled at any time. Fresh
results concerning the gold (111) surface evolution in diluted H2SO4
electrolyte are presented. Finally, the perspectives opened by this in
situ studies are discussed.
