"Water at Electrified Interfaces"
The structure of water at solid interfaces is a topic of significant scientific interest, yet there remains considerable debate in the field. In this talk, I will present ongoing research efforts in our lab aimed at resolving these controversies. Using in situ 3D atomic force microscopy and interface-sensitive spectroscopy, we have probed water structures under various environmental conditions and across different geographical locations. These advanced techniques allowed us to capture a more comprehensive picture of water behavior at electrified solid surfaces and the influence of airborne contaminants, shedding light on the factors contributing to the conflicting findings in existing studies.
