Interfacial Electric Fields in Water Nanodroplets are Weakly Dependent on Curvature and pH
Gabriele Amante, Fortunata Panzera, Gabriele Centi +4
The origin of enhanced reactivity in aqueous microdroplets remains debated, with interfacial electric fields (IEFs) often invoked as catalytic drivers. Here, we provide a quantum-m…

Collective Electronic Polarization Drives Charge Asymmetry at Oil-Water Interfaces
Gabriele Amante, Klaudia Mrazikova, Gabriele Centi +3
Why kinetically stable oil droplets in water spontaneously acquire a negative charge remains one of the most vigorously debated questions in interfacial science. Here, we combine n…
