By combining electrochemical methods, in-situ scanning tunneling microscopy, and surface X-ray diffraction and in particular so-called crystal truncation rod scattering, we were able study the structure and kinetics of S/Au(111) electrodes in aqueous electrolytes under potential control. Integrated intensities of a particular crystal truncation rod at anti-Bragg condition were used to trace the sulfur adsorption and desorption as a function of electrode potential in real-time. We established that the S adsorption follows a Langmuir isotherm, whereas the S desorption is a first order process. The analysis of the x-ray data showed taht a weakly bound S layer is present on the surface before charge transfer, and thus specific adsorption, occurs.
