double layer (EDL), a key concept in electrochemistry important for energy storage …

Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature.
Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought …

Predicting nanoparticle aggregation and attachment phenomena requires a rigorous
understanding of the interplay among crystal structure, particle morphology, surface …

Chemical gradients, the spatial variations in chemical concentrations and components, are
omnipresent in environments ranging from biological and environmental systems to …

Porous electrodes are found in energy storage devices such as supercapacitors and
pseudocapacitors. However, the effect of electrode-pore-size distribution on their energy …

The electrostatic double layer force is key to determining the stability and self-assembly of
charged colloids and many other soft matter systems. Fully understanding the attractive force …

Diffusiophoresis refers to the movement of colloidal particles in the presence of a
concentration gradient of a solute and enables directed motion of colloidal particles in …

The study of the electrical double layer lies at the heart of colloidal and interfacial science.
The standard mean-field Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) theory is incapable of modeling many …

Diffusiophoresis is the movement of colloidal particles due to a gradient in the concentration
of a solute. Previous studies on diffusiophoresis have focused largely on one-dimensional …
