This manuscript outlines my outlook on the development of electric-field (EF)-mediated-
chemistry and the vision of its state by 2050. I discuss applications of oriented-external …

This paper describes the nature of the hydrogen bond (HB), B:---H–A, using valence bond
theory (VBT). Our analysis shows that the most important HB interactions are polarization …

As a primary energy source, electricity drives broad fields from everyday electronic circuits to
industrial chemical catalysis. From a chemistry viewpoint, studying electric field effects on …

Benzoic acid dissolved in water is electrosprayed (− 4 kV) by using nitrogen gas at a
pressure of 120 psi to form∼ 10 μm diameter microdroplets. Analysis with mass …

Water microdroplets promote unusual chemical reactions at the air–water interface.
However, the interfacial structure of water microdroplets and its potential influence on …

We report a simple, direct, and green conversion of air/N2 to nitric acid by bubbling the gas
through an aqueous solution containing 50 μM Fe2+ ions. Air stone, along with …

Often, chemical reactions are markedly accelerated in microdroplets compared with the
corresponding bulk phase. While identifying the precise causative factors remains …

The identification of the electrogenerated reactive intermediates is essential for an in-depth
understanding of the electroredox processes. Although various short-lived intermediates are …

Petroleum, as the “lifeblood” of industrial development, is the important energy source and
raw material. The selective transformation of petroleum into high‐end chemicals is of great …

Gas-liquid-solid catalytic reactions are widespread in nature and man-made technologies.
Recently, the exceptional reactivity observed on (electro) sprayed microdroplets, in …
