How is H2O2 formed in sprayed water is not well understood. It is believed to involve the
association of HO• radicals spontaneously generated from HO–ions by internal electric fields …

Although phenol is stable in bulk water, we report an exceptional phenomenon in which
phenol is spontaneously transformed into a phenyl carbocation (Ph+) in water microdroplets …

Liquid–liquid or gas–liquid interfaces are ubiquitous in nature and in industrial production.
Understanding the unique effects arising from the asymmetric interfaces and controlling the …

Often, chemical reactions are markedly accelerated in microdroplets compared with the
corresponding bulk phase. While identifying the precise causative factors remains …

As an important class of five-membered N-heterocyclic compounds, pyrazolin-5-one
derivatives play an extremely important role in the construction of fine chemicals and …

α-Acyloxy carboxamides are important multifunctional natural products that show bioactive
and pharmacological activities. Traditional three-component Passerini reactions among …

Using real-time mass spectrometric (MS) monitoring, we demonstrate one-step, catalyst-free
spontaneous oxidation of various alcohols (ROH) to key reactive intermediates for the …

Microdroplet chemistry has been proven to amazingly accelerate many chemical and
biological reactions in the past 2 decades. Current microdroplet accelerated reactions are …

Why is disbelief in anthropogenic climate change common despite broad scientific
consensus to the contrary? A widely held explanation involves politically motivated (system …

Formation of aqueous secondary organic aerosol (aqSOA) at the air–liquid interface recently
has attracted a lot of attention in atmospheric chemistry. The discrepancies in mass …
