This focus topic will address research using laboratory-based ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS). Considerable advances have been made in AP-XPS, where much of the prior research has been performed at synchrotron radiation sources. New capabilities have been developed which allow AP-XPS to be performed in standard laboratory settings. New ambient pressure cell design, differential pumping, and high-brightness laboratory X-ray sources allow laboratory-based AP-XPS research to help further science and technology. Abstracts addressing the development, novel applications, integration with other techniques, and future directions for laboratory-based AP-XPS are solicited. Topics are expected to include catalytic reactions, electrochemical systems, corrosion, biomaterials, and semiconductor processing.
