In this tutorial review, we discuss how the choice of upconversion pulse shape in broadband
vibrational sum-frequency generation (SFG) spectrometer design impacts the chemical or …

Interfaces are considered a major bottleneck in the capture of CO2 from air. Efforts to design
surfaces to enhance CO2 capture probabilities are challenging due to the remarkably poor …

The adsorption of ions to water-hydrophobe interfaces influences a wide range of
phenomena, including chemical reaction rates, ion transport across biological membranes …

Hypothesis Organophosphorus-based ligands represent a versatile set of solvent extraction
reagents whose chemical makeup plays an important role in extraction mechanism. We …

Molecular orientation plays a pivotal role in defining the functionality and chemistry of
interfaces, yet accurate measurements probing this important feature are few, due, in part, to …

Liquid/liquid (L/L) interfaces play a key, yet poorly understood, role in a range of complex
chemical phenomena where time-evolving interfacial structures and transient …

As fossil fuels remain a major source of energy throughout the world, developing efficient
negative emission technologies, such as direct air capture (DAC), which remove carbon …

Bioinspired membrane molecules with improved physical properties and enhanced stability
can serve as functional models for conventional lipid or amphiphilic species. Importantly …

Understanding the electronic properties resulting from soft–hard material interfacial contact
has elevated the utility of functional polymers in advanced materials and nanoscale …

Conventional wisdom suggests that cations play a minimal role in the assembly of cationic
amphiphiles. Here, we show that at liquid/liquid (L/L) interfaces, specific cation effects can …
