Lithium-ion batteries, simply known as lithium batteries, are distinct among high energy
density charge-storage devices. The power delivery of batteries depends upon the …

Immobilization of proteins on a solid support is critical with respect to the fabrication and
performance of biosensors and biochips. Protein attachment with a preferable orientation …

Polymer adhesion is ubiquitous in both the natural world and human technology. It is also a
complex multiscale phenomenon, such that the solution of adhesion problems requires a …

This textbook offers an introduction to the foundations of spectroscopic methods and
provides a bridge between basic concepts and experimental applications in fields as diverse …

External control of chemical processes is a subject of widespread interest in chemical
research, including control of electrocatalytic processes with significant promise in energy …

Nanobubbles (NBs) are nanoscopic gaseous domains than can exist on solid surfaces or in
bulk liquids. They have attracted substantial attention due to their long-time (meta) stability …

The oil/water interface, for instance in emulsions, is often stabilized by surfactants. Hence,
the co‐existence of oil, water, and surfactant molecules at the buried oil/water interface …

Usually a surface or an interface is well-defined with little diffusion from one side of the
surface or interface to the other, with the length scale being on the order of one to several …

Ultrafast two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D IR) has been advanced in recent years
toward measuring signals from only a monolayer of sample molecules at solid–liquid and …

Vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy was utilized to distinguish
different populations of water molecules within the electric double layer (EDL) at the …
