The interfaces of neat water and aqueous solutions play a prominent role in many
technological processes and in the environment. Examples of aqueous interfaces are …

Oil spills and industrial organic pollutants have induced severe water pollution and
threatened every species in the ecological system. To deal with oily water, special wettability …

We follow the history of nanobubbles from the earliest experiments pointing to their
existence to recent years. We cover the effect of Laplace pressure on the thermodynamic …

The chemistry and physics of charged interfaces is regulated by the structure of the electrical
double layer (EDL). Herein we quantify the average thickness of the Stern layer at the silica …

The structure of the electrical double layer has been debated for well over a century, since it
mediates colloidal interactions, regulates surface structure, controls reactivity, sets …

A typical superhydrophobic (ultrahydrophobic) surface can repel water droplets from wetting
itself, and the contact angle of a water droplet resting on a superhydrophobic surface is …

When Szent-Györgyi called water the “matrix of life”, 1 he was echoing an old sentiment.
Paracelsus in the 16th century said that “water was the matrix of the world and of all its …

Catalytic CO x (CO and CO2) hydrogenation to valued chemicals is one of the promising
approaches to address challenges in energy, environment, and climate change. H2O is an …

A general introduction to surface and interfacial forces, perfectly combining theoretical
concepts, experimental techniques and practical applications. In this completely updated …

The existence of stable nanoscopic gaseous domains in liquids, or nanobubbles, has
attracted both skepticism and intrigue since classical theory predicts that spherical gas …
