Tuning Electrode Wettability to Optimize Nanobubble Nucleation and Reaction Rates in Electrochemical Gas-Evolving Reactions
Zhenlei Wanga, Yaxi Yua, Mengkai Qin +7
Bubble formation in electrochemical system often hinders reaction efficiency by reducing active surface area and obstructing mass transfer, yet the mechanisms governing their nanos…
Self-Assembly and Phase Behavior of Janus Rods: Competition Between Shape and Potential Anisotropy
Jared A. Wood, Laura Dal Compare, Lillian Pearse +5
We characterize the self-assembly and phase behavior of Janus rods over a broad range of temperatures and volume fractions, using Langevin dynamics simulations and free energy calc…
The Thermodynamic Origins of Chiral Twist in Monolayer Assemblies of Hard Rod-like Colloids
Yawei Liu, Jared A. Wood, Achille Giacometti +1
The propagation of chirality across scales is a common but poorly understood phenomenon in soft matter. In this work, we use computer simulations to study chiral monolayer assembli…
Stability of Pinned Surface Nanobubbles Against Expansion: Insights from Theory and Simulation
Yawei Liu, Stefano Bernardi, Asaph Widmer-Cooper
While growth and dissolution of surface nanobubbles has been widely studied in recent years, their stability under pressure changes or a temperature increase has not received the s…
Pressure Gradients Fail to Predict Diffusio-Osmosis
Yawei Liu, Raman Ganti, Daan Frenkel
We present numerical simulations of diffusio-osmotic flow, i.e. the fluid flow generated by a concentration gradient along a solid-fluid interface. In our study, we compare a numbe…
A review of recent theoretical and computational studies on pinned surface nanobubbles
Yawei Liu, Xianren Zhang
The findings of long-lived surface nanobubbles in various experiments brought a puzzle in theory, as they were supposed to be dissolved in microseconds due to the high Laplace pres…
Hamiltonian transformation to compute Thermo-osmotic Forces
Raman Ganti, Yawei Liu, Daan Frenkel
If a thermal gradient is applied along a fluid-solid interface, the fluid experiences a thermo-osmotic force. In steady state this force is balanced by the gradient of the shear st…
Microscopic Marangoni flows cannot be predicted on the basis of pressure gradients
Yawei Liu, Raman Ganti, Hugh G. A. Burton +3
A concentration gradient along a fluid-fluid interface can cause flow. On a microscopic level, this so-called Marangoni effect can be viewed as being caused by a gradient in the pr…
Molecular Simulation of Thermo-osmotic slip
Raman Ganti, Yawei Liu, Daan Frenkel
Thermo-osmotic slip -- the flow induced by a thermal gradient along a surface -- is a well-known phenomenon, but curiously there is a lack of robust molecular-simulation techniques…
