Introduction

Solid electrolyte interfaces are central to reactivity, stability and self-organization in a large range of complementary fields and disciplines. It is widely appreciated, that solid|solution interfaces are central to processes involving cell-to-substrate interaction[1-3], self-assembly and self-organization in biological and biomaterials[4], stability of colloidal dispersions and electrochemical energy storage and electro-catalysis[5-6] as well as corrosion[7].

In all of these fields understanding, predicting and controlling solid|electrolyte interfaces is of overarching importance to further advance technologic applications of even the most diametrically opposed materials used e.g. in biomedical or energy storage and energy harvesting applications. As such, the structure of solid|solution interfaces has always been appreciated as essential to interfacial interactions and reactions, yet a direct experimental probing of the atomistic structure of a solid|electrolyte interface is still one of the most challenging fields in fundamental science.
