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 …

Metallo-oxide (MO)-based bioinorganic nanocomposites promise unique structures,
physicochemical properties, and novel biochemical functionalities, and within the past …

Although the importance of water interfaces has long been well recognized, studies of the
interfaces at the molecular level only began more recently. 1-3 The difficulty lies in the fact …

A critical step in photocatalytic water dissociation is the hole‐mediated oxidation reaction.
Molecular‐level insights into the mechanism of this complex reaction under realistic …

A phase-sensitive sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopic technique is developed to study
interfacial water structure of water/quartz interfaces. Measurements allow deduction of both …

Applications of the interface-selective methods of second harmonic (SHG) and sum
frequency (SFG) spectroscopy to the investigation of equilibrium and time-dependent …

We investigated specific ion effects on interfacial water structure next to macromolecules
with vibrational sum frequency spectroscopy (VSFS). Poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide) was …

We have used visible-infrared sum-frequency generation spectroscopy to reveal
fundamental characteristics of water structure at the fused silica surface. By studying a wide …

Water interfaces provide the platform for many important biological, chemical, and physical
processes. The water–air interface is the most common and simple aqueous interface and …

Zeta potential of shape-and size-controlled TiO2 nanoparticles obtained with the
introduction of surfactants during synthesis was measured at different pH values. A unique …
