Electrochemical surface science (EC-SS) is the natural advancement of traditional surface science (where gas–vacuum/solid interfaces are studied) to liquid (solution)/electrified solid interfaces. Such a merging between two different disciplines—i.e., surface science (SS) and electrochemistry—officially advanced ca. three decades ago. The main characteristic of EC-SS versus electrochemistry is the reductionist approach undertaken, inherited from SS and aiming to understand the microscopic processes occurring at electrodes on the atomic level. A few of the exemplary keystone tools of EC-SS include EC-scanning probe microscopies, operando and in situ spectroscopies and electron microscopies, and differential EC mass spectrometry (DEMS). EC-SS indirectly (and often unconsciously) receives a great boost from the requirement for rational design of energy conversion and storage devices for the next generation of energetic landscapes. As a matter of fact, the number of material science groups deeply involved in such a challenging field has tremendously expanded and, within such a panorama, EC and SS investigations are intimately combined in a huge number of papers. The aim of this Special Issue is to offer an open access forum where researchers in the field of electrochemistry, surface science, and materials science could outline the great advances that can be reached by exploiting EC-SS approaches. Papers addressing both the basic science and more applied issues in the field of EC-SS and energy conversion and storage materials have been published in this Special Issue.

This book shares essential insights into the formation and properties of ionic interfaces based on the energy level structures of their interfaces obtained using a surface science approach. It covers both interfaces with liquid and solid electrolyte contacts, and includes different material classes, such as oxides and phosphates. The specific material properties result in particular effects observed at interfaces, which are often not yet, or not sufficiently, taken into account in battery development and technologies. Discussing fundamental issues concerning the properties of intercalation electrodes and electrode–solid electrolyte interfaces, the book investigates the factors that determine voltage, kinetics and reactivity. It presents experimental results on interface formation, and relates them to electron and ion energy levels in the materials and at their interfaces. It explores these topics integrating electrochemistry, solid-state ionics and semiconductor physics, and accordingly will appeal not only to battery scientists, but also to a broader scientific community, including material scientists and electrochemists.
