Heterogeneous sonocatalysis, as an emerging advanced oxidation process (AOP), has
shown immense potential in water treatment and been widely demonstrated to remove …

MXene-based nanomaterials (MBNs) are two-dimensional materials that exhibit a series of
sought after properties, including rich surface chemistry, adjustable bandgap structures, high …

Wetting and drying of pores or cavities, made by walls that attract or repel the liquid, is a
ubiquitous process in nature and has many technological applications including, for …

Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces have attracted great interest from fundamental
research to engineering applications. The stability, design, and regulation of …

Acoustic cavitation is the main mechanism for reaction intensification in sonochemistry. This
chapter provides an overview of the dynamics, mechanisms and theories of acoustic …

Heterogeneous systems composed of hydrophobic nanoporous materials and water are
capable, depending on their characteristics, of efficiently dissipating (dampers) or storing …

The bubble nucleation process has practical applications and has garnered a significant
amount of attention. In the literature, researchers have commonly accepted that the incipient …

The liquid-to-vapor transition can occur under unexpected conditions in nanopores, opening
the door to fundamental questions and new technologies. The physics of boiling in …

In this Letter, the dynamics of a collapsing vapor bubble is addressed by means of a diffuse-
interface formulation. The model cleanly captures, through a unified approach, all the critical …

In this article, we review some recent theoretical results about intrusion and extrusion of non-
wetting liquids in and out of cavities of nanotextured surfaces and nanoporous materials …
