Interfacial Electric Fields in Water Nanodroplets Are Weakly Dependent on Curvature and pH
The origin of enhanced reactivity in aqueous microdroplets remains unresolved, with interfacial electric fields (IEFs) frequently proposed as catalytic drivers. Here, we present a quantum-mechanical, spatially resolved characterization of the electric field at air-water interfaces by combining deep learning molecular...
