We report the effect of airborne hydrocarbon contamination on the water wettability of
graphite. Graphite is traditionally known to be hydrophobic with water contact angle (WCA) …

Low salinity water injection (LSWI) is the process of injecting modified salinity brine with
controlled ionic composition to achieve increased oil recovery compared to conventional …

To explore the surface wettability, the contact angle was usually experimentally measured
by sessile drop method, which is very sensible to the experimental conditions. Molecular …

Wet carbon interfaces are ubiquitous in the natural world and exhibit anomalous properties,
which could be exploited by emerging technologies. However, progress is limited by lack of …

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) exhibits immense potential in H2O-related technologies, but
its interaction with H2O, especially on rough surfaces, remains unclear. This study unravels …

The study of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in microfluidic and nanofluidic applications at
the atomic level requires accurate force field parameters to describe the water-hBN …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) supramolecular arrays provide a route to the spatial control
of the chemical functionality of a surface, but their deposition is in almost all cases limited to …

The underlying wettability alteration mechanism responsible for enhanced oil recovery
(EOR) in carbonate reservoirs is a long-standing issue for which no consensus has yet been …

The water/graphene interface has received considerable attention in the past decade due to
its relevance in various potential applications including energy storage, sensing …

The dependence of the wettability of graphene on the nature of the underlying substrate
remains only partially understood. Here, we systematically investigate the role of liquid …
