Adhesion of noncovalent complexes formed between complementary polymers bearing
functional groups capable of hydrogen bonding or ionic interactions is reviewed. The …

Control over selective recognition of biomolecules on inorganic nanoparticles is a major
challenge for the synthesis of new catalysts, functional carriers for therapeutics, and …

Mechanisms of CaCO3 nucleation from solutions that depend on multistage pathways and
the existence of species far more complex than simple ions or ion pairs have recently been …

Wettability of CO 2/brine/mineral systems plays a significant role in the underground
geological storage of CO 2 as it governs the fluid flow and distribution mechanism within the …

Interfaces at the nanoscale, also called nanointerfaces, play a fundamental role in physics
and chemistry. Probing the chemical and electronic environment at nanointerfaces is …

We performed reactive force field molecular dynamics simulation to observe the hydrolysis
reactions between water molecules and locally strained SiO2 geometry. We optimized the …

A perspective and brief review of in situ/operando X-ray spectroscopic techniques with focus
on energy materials is presented, including discussion on current status, choice of cells and …

We show that the surface potential at a water–oxide nanoparticle (NP) interface, long
considered an immeasurable direct quantity, can be measured by X-ray photoelectron …

The surface charge density and surface potential of oxide surfaces are to a large extent
regulated by the co-and counterion distributions in the electrical double layer. Here we study …

The acid–base properties of surfaces significantly influence catalytic and (photo)
electrochemical processes. Estimation of acid dissociation constants (p K a values) for …
