N2 - This study reports on the applicability of X-ray transmission (XRT), small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) for investigating fundamental processes taking place in the working electrode of an electric double-layer capacitor with 1M RbBr aqueous electrolyte at different applied potentials. XRT and incoherent neutron scattering are employed to determine global ion- and water concentration changes and associated charge-balancing mechanisms. We showcase the suitability of SAXS and SANS to get complementary information on local ion and solvent rearrangement in nanoconfinement, respectively, but also underscore the limitations of simple qualitative models, asking for more quantitative descriptions of water-water and ion-water interactions via detailed atomistic modelling approaches.
