Confined fluids and electrolyte solutions in nanopores exhibit rich and surprising physics
and chemistry that impact the mass transport and energy efficiency in many important …

Electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) are devices allowing the storage or
production of electricity. They function through the adsorption of ions from an electrolyte on …

The ubiquity of aqueous solutions in contact with charged surfaces and the realization that
the molecular-level details of water–surface interactions often determine interfacial functions …

Nanofluidics has firmly established itself as a new field in fluid mechanics, as novel
properties have been shown to emerge in fluids at the nanometric scale. Thanks to recent …

The interfaces of neat water and aqueous solutions play a prominent role in many
technological processes and in the environment. Examples of aqueous interfaces are …

In this Focus Review, we put the spotlight on very recent insights into the fascinating world of
wet chemistry in the realm offered by nanoconfinement of water in mechanically rather rigid …

From the stability of colloidal suspensions to the charging of electrodes, electric double
layers play a pivotal role in aqueous systems. The interactions between interfaces, water …

Despite more than a century of research, drying shrinkage still causes unwanted stresses
and cracks in our concrete infrastructures. This is partly due to the lack of understanding of …

We investigate the dielectric profile of water confined between two planar polar walls using
atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. For a water slab thickness below 1 nm the …

The recently developed modified Donnan (mD) model provides a simple and useful
description of the electrical double layer in microporous carbon electrodes, suitable for …
