Time-lapse XRD of the coating process. Bare lead was soaked for 10 hours in 0.05 mol L−1 tetradecanoic acid (C14) (upper panel) followed by a 1 hour drying stage in ambient air (lower panel) (A). Pb(C14)2 growth on a bare lead substrate during drying is shown in (B). First scan (black) to last scan (grey).
