Ferroelectric material is a kind of material with spontaneous polarization, and water is a common polar solvent. Due to polarity, there are complex interactions at the interface between ferroelectric materials and water/aqueous solutions. Understanding these physical processes and mechanisms is of great significance for both theoretical research and practical applications. Herein, the surface structure of (001) orientated BaTiO3 with (001) direction polarization single crystal is studied by synchrotron radiation diffraction technology, and the effects of liquids with different pH values on surface structure of BaTiO3 single crystal was also investigated. The results show that BaTiO3 single crystal contains a surface layer with a low electron density, and due to the effect of polarity, a 2.6 nm-thick water layer is adsorbed on the surface of BaTiO3 single crystal. After adding deionized water on the surface, there is no significant change in the surface layer structure of BaTiO3. Low temperature in-situ grazing incidence X-ray diffraction experiments indicate the presence of ice on the surface, further confirming the existence of adsorbed water layers on the surface. A hydrochloric acid solution with pH = 1 has no significant effect on the surface structure of BaTiO3, either, which is possibly due to the ability of acidic solutions to stabilize the original polarization direction. However, an NaOH solution with a pH = 13 can thicken the surface layer, which possibly results from the weakening of surface polarization caused by alkaline solutions, thereby changing the surface depolarization field and surface layer thickness.
