In the past few years there has been a marked increase in the number of structural studies of alkali adsorption and coadsorption systems, motivated in part by developments in theoretical models of adsorption. This article reviews recent studies of alkali adsorption and coadsorption using specifically structural techniques, with the intention of highlighting recent developments, providing a useful reference base to the community, and drawing attention to some unifying concepts.
