Superlubricity, the state of ultralow friction between two sliding surfaces, has become a
frontier subject in tribology. Here, a state-of-the-art review of the phenomena and …

Synthetic membranes featuring confined nanostructures have emerged as a prominent
category of leading materials that can selectively separate target ions from complex water …

Much of chemistry is concerned with the study of reactions and processes in solution, that is,
where liquids are used as solvents. 2, 3 The solvent is the (excess) liquid phase in which …

Ion hydration and transport at interfaces are relevant to a wide range of applied fields and
natural processes,,,–. Interfacial effects are particularly profound in confined geometries …

Charge regulation in the electrical double layer has important implications for ion
adsorption, interparticle forces, colloidal stability, and deposition phenomena. Although …

Hydration layers are ubiquitous in life and technology. Hence, interfacial aqueous layers
have a central role in a wide range of phenomena from materials science to molecular and …

The physical properties of clays and micas can be controlled by exchanging ions in the
crystal lattice. Atomically thin materials can have superior properties in a range of membrane …

Interfacial liquid layers play a central role in a variety of phenomena ranging from friction to
molecular recognition. Liquids near a solid surface form an interfacial layer where the …

Classical electrical double layer (EDL) models are foundational to the representation of
atomistic structure and reactivity at charged interfaces. An important limitation to these …
