Solid/liquid interfaces are ubiquitous in nature and knowledge of their atomic-level structure is essential in elucidating many phenomena in chemistry, physics, materials science and Earth science 1 . In electrochemistry, in particular, the detailed structure of interfacial water, such as the orient...
