The surface propensity of halide ions in water is still a matter of debate. While the famous Onsager&Samaras model indicates that charged species should avoid the interface, more recent Molecular Dynamics simulations that take into account the polarizability of the ions indicate notably that iodide and bromide prefer the interface while chloride and fluoride avoid it. Different models, however, differ in how strong this effect is, while experimental studies have reported contradictory results. Here I will discuss recent results obtained using Liquid-Jet X-Ray Photoemission Spectroscopy on water interfaces for potassium halide solutions. In particular, the measurement of the photoelectron angular distributions allow for a higher spatial resolution than classic XPS measurements.
