Second harmonic scattering of nanoparticles: A journey into the electrical double layer
In aqueous solutions, a charged surface causes the redistribution of nearby ions. The ion layers formed are known as the electrical double layer (EDL), and are widespread in many systems involving electrochemistry, colloidal science, biomedicine, and energ ...
EPFL2024Effect of a temperature gradient on the screening properties of ionic fluids
Federico Grasselli, Andrea Grisafi
The electrostatic screening properties of ionic fluids are of paramount importance in countless physical processes. Yet the screening behavior of ionic conductors out of thermal equilibrium has to date mainly been studied in the context of thermoelectric p ...
AMER PHYSICAL SOC2023Surface Charge Boundary Condition Often Misused in CO2 Reduction Models
Sophia Haussener, Etienne Boutin, Evan Fair Johnson
The Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations have been used to model species transport in electrochemical CO2 reduction, where the surface charge boundary condition accounts for the potential drop across the Stern layer. A direct comparison of the published models ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2023Molecular insights into the electrical double layer of colloidal oxide particles obtained through second harmonic scattering
Photocatalytic applications play an essential role in the search for alternative energy sources and environmental decontamination techniques. It is of fundamental interest to understand on a molecular level the aqueous solid/liquid interface, where photoca ...
EPFL2022Electrokinetic, electrochemical, and electrostatic surface potentials of the pristine water liquid-vapor interface
Although conceptually simple, the air-water interface displays rich behavior and is subject to intense experimental and theoretical investigations. Different definitions of the electrostatic surface potential as well as different calculation methods, each ...
AIP Publishing2022Surface Potential and Interfacial Water Order at the Amorphous TiO2 Nanoparticle/Aqueous Interface
Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Marie Bischoff
Colloidal nanoparticles exhibit unique size-dependent properties differing from their bulk counterpart, which can be particularly relevant for catalytic applications. To optimize surface-mediated chemical reactions, the understanding of the microscopic str ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2020How to polarise an interface with ions: the discrete Helmholtz model
Hubert Girault, Astrid Johana Olaya Avendano, Grégoire Clément Gschwend
The distribution of electrolytes in an electric field usually relies on theories based on the Poisson-Boltzmann formalism. These models predict that, in the case of a metallic electrode, ionic charges screen the electrode potential, leading to concentratio ...
ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY2020Discrete Helmholtz charge distribution at liquid-liquid interfaces: Electrocapillarity, capacitance and non-linear spectroscopy studies
Hubert Girault, Grégoire Clément Gschwend
The structure of the polarised interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions (ITIES) has usually been deduced from electrocapillarity and capacitance measurements. However, these two methods only offer an indirect access to the surface change dens ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA2020Surface Characterization of Colloidal Silica Nanoparticles by Second Harmonic Scattering: Quantifying the Surface Potential and Interfacial Water Order
Sylvie Roke, Arianna Marchioro, Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks, Marie Bischoff
The microscopic description of the interface of colloidal particles in solution is essential to understand and predict the stability of these systems, as well as their chemical and electrochemical reactivity. However, this description often relies on the u ...
2019Specific Ion Effects at the Interface of Nanometer-Sized Droplets in Water: Structure and Stability
Sylvie Roke, Halil Ibrahim Okur, Evangelia Zdrali
The interaction of ions with interfaces influences numerous processes in chemistry, physics, and biology, while different ion species behave differently at hydrophobic or hydrophilic interfaces. Despite its importance, ion specificity and its relation to s ...
