Strain-Dependent Wetting of Graphene

Darren Wayne Lim, Xavier R. Advincula, William C. Witt +3

Understanding how water wets graphene is critical for predicting and controlling its behaviour in nanofluidic, sensing, and energy applications. A key measure of wetting is the con…

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…

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…

Entropy governs the structure and reactivity of water dissociation under electric fields

Yair Litman, Angelos Michaelides

The response of water to electric fields is critical to the performance and stability of electrochemical devices, and the selectivity of enzymatic, atmospheric, and organic reactio…

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…
