The chemical and biological reaction dynamics of molecules in liquids exhibit evolution behaviors that are significantly different from those of isolated molecules in the gas phase. The in-depth investigation of the ultrafast excited-state dynamics of liquid-phase molecules is of great importance for uncovering the microscopic mechanisms underlying complex chemical and biological processes. Photoelectron spectroscopy not only reveals the electronic structure of excited-state molecules but also exhibits high sensitivity to structural changes, making it a powerful tool for studying the relaxation dynamics. Liquid-phase time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy utilizes a liquid microjet within a high vacuum. In this pump-probe technique, an initial pump pulse excites the liquids to initiate dynamics, followed by a delayed probe pulse that ionizes the evolving system. The time-dependent energy distribution of the resulting photoelectrons, which encodes the ultrafast dynamics, is measured by a magnetic-bottle time-of-flight (MB-TOF) analyzer. This review systematically summarizes recent advancements in the time-resolved liquid-phase photoelectron spectroscopy technology for studying ultrafast dynamics in liquids, detailing the fundamental working principles of magnetic-bottle spectrometers and the preparation techniques for liquid microjet targets. Furthermore, typical applications are discussed, concluding with an analysis of current technical challenges and future research directions.
