The ion interfacial transport driven by ion-surface interactions in calcareous soil has a profound impact on the nutrient storage and environmental buffer capacity of the main agricultural soils in dry and semi-arid areas. The roles that carbonate plays in preserving the soil's inorganic carbon pool and soil structure stability have been widely investigated, but its significance in the aforementioned microscopic processes, especially the influence of carbonate on the interfacial reaction kinetics of nutrient elements, is yet to be determined. In this study, potassium (K) was used as an indicator ion to investigate its affinity in carbonate-removed (CREM) and carbonate-reserved (CRES) calcareous soil using the general theory of ion diffusion in an external electric field.

The article summarizes the results of our research on the behavior of ions at uncharged fluid interfaces, with a focus on moderately to highly concentrated aqueous electrolytes. The ion-specific properties of such interfaces have been analyzed. The ion-specificity series are different for water|air and water|oil; different for surface tension , surface Δ potential and electrolyte adsorption, and they change with concentration.

Understanding factors that affect ligand loss from TM complexes at interfaces is important both for generating catalytically-active undercoordinated TM complexes and for controlling the degradation pathways of photosensitizers and photoredox catalysts. Herein, we demonstrate that well-defined TM complexes prepared on surfaces using ion soft landing undergo substantial structural rearrangements resulting in ligand loss and formation of both stable and reactive undercoordinated species.

Although laminate structures are widely used in electrostatic capacitors, unavoidable heterogeneous interfaces often deteriorate the dielectric properties by impeding film crystallization. In this study, a TiO/ZrO/TiO (TZT) laminate structure, where upper-TiO deposited on the heterogeneous interface was crystallized by plasma-assisted atomic layer annealing (ALA), was investigated. ALA effectively induced the phase transition of the upper-TiO from the amorphous or anatase phase to the rutile phase, leading to an increase in the dielectric constant, whereas the ZrO blocking interlayer maintained the amorphous phase owing to the extremely localized effect of ALA.

The high surface-area-to-volume ratio of colloidal quantum dots (QDs) positions them as promising materials for high-performance supercapacitor electrodes. However, the challenge lies in achieving a highly accessible surface area, while maintaining good electrical conductivity. An efficient supercapacitor demands a dense yet highly porous structure that facilitates efficient ion-surface interactions and supports fast charge mobility.
