This article reviews the fundamental interfacial mechanisms underlying electrofreezing
(promotion of ice nucleation via the application of an electric field). Electrofreezing has been …

Ice accumulation under static electric fields presents a significant hazard to transmission
lines and power grids. Contemporary computational studies of electrofreezing …

The microscopic mechanism of heterogeneous ice nucleation on various material surfaces
is essential to controlling the freezing of water for wide applications, but it remains unclear …

Electro-icing technology has significant industrial applications, whereas few studies have
investigated the icing behavior of seawater under static electric fields and its underlying …

Using computer simulations, the early stages of the adsorption of the CfAFP molecule to the
ice surface were analyzed. We found that the ice and the protein interact at least as early as …

Video images of ice formation from moist air under temperature and electric potential
gradients reveal that ambient electricity enhances ice production rates while changing the …

A mechanism of interactions between the ice-binding surface of a hyperactive antifreeze
protein molecule and the ice surface is proposed, involving the influence of water present …

Molecular dynamics was employed to explain the preference for the cubic structure in newly
formed crystals of ice. The results showed that in supercooled liquid water the molecules …

Applying 0.3 to 1.25 kV/cm electric potential gradients to cooled water vapor triggers the
copious formation of electrified ice needles, as long as 36 millimeters. This is completely …

Heterogeneous nucleation is decided by many factors, and surface morphology is one of the
most important elements. This paper reports the selective ice nucleation and growth process …
