Abstract
The study of passivation and the passive film is an important part of the field of corrosion since the passive film can prevent corrosive dissolution of materials. In electrochemical studies, a major problem is the composition and structure of the film and its role in electrochemical reactions. Surface composition and structure can be obtained from numerous surface analysis techniques, but normally only under ex-situ conditions. Among possible candidates for in-situ studies of surface films, photoelectrochemistry has good potential since the response of the electrode to the incident irradiation is an electrochemical quantity.
