Confined liquids play an important role in many technical applications and processes. Recent studies on the performance of batteries and capacitors showed that electrochemical and catalytic processes are highly sensitive to the molecular scale liquid structure adjacent to interfaces. Thus, a detailed knowledge of the structure of confined liquids on molecular length scale is of great interest for fundamental and applied sciences. To study confined structures under dynamic conditions we constructed a novel in-situ X-ray surface force apparatus (X-SFA). This device can create a precisely controlled slit pore confinement down to molecular dimensions. The normal load between the apposing interfaces can be modulated to study the structure and dynamics of confined liquids. The in-plane structure of the liquid parallel to the slit pore and density profiles perpendicular to the confining interfaces were studied by X-ray scattering and reflectivity. Relaxation processes were studied by bringing the system out of equilibrium by external stress.
