    Spatiotemporal Visualization and Chemical Identification of the Metal Diffusion Layer at the Electrochemical Interface
    Zhang, Yuxin; Hu, Anyang; Maxey, Evan; Li, Luxi; Lin, Feng (Electrochemical Society, 2022-10)
    The diffusion layer created by transition metal (TM) dissolution is ubiquitous at the electrochemical solid-liquid interface and plays a key role in determining electrochemical performance. Tracking the spatiotemporal dynamics of the diffusion layer has remained an unresolved challenge. With spatially resolved synchrotron X-ray fluorescence microscopy and micro-X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we demonstrate the in situ visualization and chemical identification of the dynamic diffusion layer near the electrode surface under electrochemical operating conditions. Our method allows for direct mapping of the reactive electrochemical interface and provides insights into engineering the diffusion layer for improving electrochemical performance.
