Abstract |
The adsorbed water thin layer on interface under ambient condition has different structural and dynamic behaviors, comparing to those of bulk water. It is also considered as a fundamental important field, due to its relevance in many aspects of daily life. However, the knowledge of the interfacial water adlayers are still lack and many findings and theories are still under debate. I am interested in the structural and dynamic behaviors of the interfacial water layer. In this presentation, I am going to review the recent results focusing on the exploration of the confined water between 2D materials and various surfaces under ambient conditions. Subsequently, I will introduce force spectroscopy method to study the structural and dynamic phenomena revealing the water adlayer growth and structures between hydrophilic and hydrophobic interfaces.These new finding potentially can be utilized to understand the boundary condition for water structures and dynamic behaviors at interfaces, and the aqueous interfacial chemistry. |
