A film of hydrophobic cations reshapes the electric double layer at metal/water interface
A research team led by RESOLV spokeperson Prof. Havenith demonstrates that hydrophobic cations such as tetrabutylammonium cation form a voltage-dependent interfacial film at the gold/water interface, as revealed by THz ATR pectroelectrochemistry. Supporting molecular dynamics simulations quantify the balance of electrostatics and hydrophobic solvation driving forces that dictate the film…
