ABSTRACT
This chapter reviews the application of surface x-ray scattering techniques to the electrode-electrolyte interface. Examples are provided for three types of electrosorption phenomena: metal, halide, and metal-halide adlayers on single crystal electrodes. Recent results for Bi on Au(100) and Au(llO), Br on Au(100) and Ag(100), and the coadsorption of Tl with Br or I on Au(111) are given. Factors affecting ordering of pure metal and halide adlayers and the metal-halide surface compounds are discussed.
