Interfacial reactions drive all elemental cycling on Earth and play pivotal roles in human
activities such as agriculture, water purification, energy production and storage …

A critical review of the points of zero charge (PZC) obtained by potentiometric titration and of
isoelectric points (IEP) obtained by electrokinetic measurements. The results from the recent …

The interaction between minerals and water is manifold and complex: the mineral surface
can be (de) protonated by water, thereby changing its charge; mineral ions dissolved into …

Mineral/aqueous interfaces are ubiquitous in geochemistry and are employed for
applications spanning catalysis to CO 2 sequestration. Small changes in interface …

Vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy is demonstrated as a fast method
to quantify variations of the electric double-layer potential ϕ0 at liquid–gas interfaces. For …

The dynamics of water at mineral surfaces has attracted much attention due to the marked
differences, compared to the bulk, in the ability of interfacial water populations to redistribute …

The α-Al2O3 (0001) surface has been extensively studied because of its significance in both
fundamental research and application. Prior work suggests that in ultra-high-vacuum (UHV) …

Unlike metal or semiconductor electrodes, the surface charge resulting from the protonation
or deprotonation of insulating mineral oxides is highly localized and heterogeneous in …

The interface between transition metal oxides (TMO) and liquid water plays a crucial role in
environmental chemistry, catalysis, and energy science. Yet, the mechanism and energetics …

Ultrafiltration (UF) polyethersulfone (PES) membranes were prepared by wet phase
inversion method. Commercial halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) in the amount of 0.5–4 wt% vs …
