When Is Nanoconfined Water Different From Interfacial Water?

Xavier R. Advincula, Christoph Schran, Angelos Michaelides

Water behaves very differently at surfaces and under extreme confinement, but the boundary between these two regimes has remained unclear. Despite evidence that interfacial effects…

Breaking the Air-Water Paradigm: Ion Behavior at Hydrophobic Solid-Water Interfaces

Xavier R. Advincula, Kara D. Fong, Yongkang Wang +4

Hydrophobic solid-water interfaces underpin processes in nanofluidics, electrochemistry, and energy technologies. Microscopic insights into these systems are often inferred from ou…

Clay Edges Are Dynamic Proton-conducting Networks Modulated by Structure and pH

Yixuan Feng, Xavier R. Advincula, Hongwei Fang +1

Montmorillonite, a ubiquitous clay mineral, plays a vital role in geochemical and environmental processes due to its chemically complex edge surfaces. However, the molecular-scale…

Towards Routine Condensed Phase Simulations with Delta-Learned Coupled Cluster Accuracy: Application to Liquid Water

Niamh O'Neill, Benjamin X. Shi, William Baldwin +5

Simulating liquid water to an accuracy that matches its wealth of available experimental data requires both precise electronic structure methods and reliable sampling of nuclear (q…

How reactive is water at the nanoscale and how to control it?

Xavier R. Advincula, Yair Litman, Kara D. Fong +3

Nanoconfined water plays a key role in nanofluidics, electrochemistry, and catalysis, yet its reactivity remains a matter of debate. Prior studies have reported both enhanced and s…

Nanoconfined superionic water is a molecular superionic

Samuel W. Coles, Amir Hajibabaei, Venkat Kapil +4

Superionic ice, where water molecules dissociate into a lattice of oxygen ions and a rapidly diffusing 'gas' of protons, represents an exotic state of matter with broad implication…

Spontaneous Surface Charging and Janus Nature of the Hexagonal Boron Nitride-Water Interface

Yongkang Wang, Haojian Luo, Xavier R. Advincula +14

Boron, nitrogen and carbon are neighbors in the periodic table and can form strikingly similar twin structures-hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and graphene-yet nanofluidic experiment…

CO2 Hydration at the Air-Water Interface: A Surface-Mediated 'In and Out' Mechanism

Samuel G. H. Brookes, Venkat Kapil, Angelos Michaelides +1

An understanding of the CO + HO hydration reaction is crucial for modeling the effects of ocean acidification, for enabling novel carbon storage solutions, and as a model p…
