Interfacial Water Responds Linearly to Charge yet Is Charge-Asymmetric
Yair Litman, Yongkang Wang, Stephen J. Cox +2
The organization of interfacial water shapes the electric double layer behavior in aqueous electrolytes. Asymmetries upon charge reversal are commonly attributed to specific ion ad…
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…
Wetting Transparency of Graphene: A macroscopic Window but Nanoscopic Mirror
Yongkang Wang, Yair Litman, Minhaeng Cho +2
Graphene supported on a substrate in contact with water underpins a wide range of processes and technologies, yet its wettability remains controversial. Understanding how substrate…
On the Slipperiness of Surfactants: Charge-Mediated Friction Control at the Molecular Scale
Kaili Xie, Julie Jagielka, Liang Peng +8
From soap-covered dishes to freshly cleaned floors, surfactants can make surfaces slippery; yet, the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood. Here, we identify the molecular…
Reevaluating Anomalous Electric Fields at the Air-Water Interface: A Surface-Specific Spectroscopic Survey
Joseph C. Shirley, Zi Xuan Ng, Kuo-Yang Chiang +4
The notion that large electric fields at the air-water interface catalyze spontaneous chemical reactions has sparked significant debate, with far reaching implications for atmosphe…
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…
Anisotropic electron-phonon interactions in 2D lead-halide perovskites
Jaco J. Geuchies, Johan Klarbring, Lucia Di Virgillio +8
Two-dimensional hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites offer enhanced stability for perovskite-based applications. Their crystal structure's soft and ionic nature gives…
Interfaces Govern Structure of Angstrom-scale Confined Water
Yongkang Wang, Fujie Tang, Xiaoqing Yu +6
Water plays a crucial role in geological, biological, and technological processes. Nanoscale water confinement occurs in many of these settings, including sedimentary rocks, water…
Signatures of Mode-Resolved, Nonlocal Electron-Phonon Coupling in Two-Dimensional Spectroscopy
Sheng Qu, Vishal K. Sharma, Jaco Geuchies +4
Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) is foundational in condensed matter physics, determining intriguing phenomena and properties in both conventional and quantum materials. In this manu…
