Electrostatics and Chemical Reactivity at the Air-Water Interface

Marilia T. C. Martins-Costa et al.

Summary: It has been found that chemical reactions at aqueous interfaces can be much faster than bulk phase reactions. However, the underlying mechanism is not yet fully understood. This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to explore the role of solvation electrostatics at the air-water interface. The simulations reveal that electrostatic forces play a key role in rate acceleration, and the fluctuations of the full electrostatic potential must be taken into account.

Unexpected Behavior of Chloride and Sulfate Ions upon Surface Solvation of Martian Salt Analogue

Nicolas Faure et al.

Summary: Gas-phase interactions with aerosol particle surfaces play a crucial role in the atmospheric physicochemical evolution of Earth and other planets. In this study, the interfacial properties of a Martian salt analogue were investigated using an advanced surface-sensitive technique and molecular dynamics simulations. The results revealed that the Martian salt analogue surface is highly sensitive to water vapor, showing unexpected ion-selective behavior as the relative humidity increases.

Experimental and Thermodynamic Viewpoints on Claims of a Spontaneous H2O2 Formation at the Air-Water Interface

Duy Nguyen et al.

Summary: Recent claims about the spontaneous formation of H2O2 at the air-water interface of water microdroplets have sparked debates on its feasibility. New results from different research groups have provided more insight into these claims, but conclusive proofs are still far from realized. In this Perspective, thermodynamic viewpoints, potential experiments, and theoretical approaches are presented as references for future studies. We suggest that future work should seek for H2 byproduct as indirect evidence to confirm the feasibility of this phenomenon. Examining potential energy surfaces for H2O2 formation reaction when moving from the bulk to the interface under the influence of the local electric fields is also critical to establish this phenomenon.

Spontaneous dark formation of OH radicals at the interface of aqueous atmospheric droplets

Kangwei Li et al.

Summary: Hydroxyl radicals (OH) play a crucial role as oxidants in atmospheric chemistry, and their aqueous sources have been mainly attributed to known bulk processes or interfacial chemistry driven by O3 and NO3 radicals. This study provides experimental evidence that OH radicals can be spontaneously produced at the air-water interface of aqueous droplets, even in the absence of known precursors, possibly due to the strong electric field formed at such interfaces. The measured OH production rates in atmospherically relevant droplets are comparable to or higher than those from known bulk sources, particularly in the dark. As aqueous droplets are widespread in the troposphere, this interfacial source of OH radicals is expected to have significant impacts on atmospheric multiphase oxidation chemistry, with implications for air quality, climate, and health.

Unexpected Behavior of Chloride and Sulfate Ions upon Surface Solvation of Martian Salt Analogue

Nicolas Faure et al.

Summary: Gas-phase interactions with aerosols play a crucial role in the physicochemical evolution of atmospheres, including that of Mars. However, our understanding of interfacial properties in natural systems with complex structures and compositions is limited. In this study, the researchers used ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations to investigate a Martian salt analogue sampled on Earth. They found that the Martian salt analogue surface is extremely sensitive to water vapor, and the surface behavior changes as the relative humidity increases.

Can electric fields drive chemistry for an aqueous microdroplet?

Hongxia Hao et al.

Summary: Reaction rates of common organic reactions can significantly increase by several orders of magnitude in aqueous microdroplets compared to bulk solution. However, the reasons for this rate acceleration are still poorly understood. By studying the electric field distributions at the air-water interface, it has been found that the electric field alignments along free O-H bonds at the surface are on average around 16 MV/cm larger than those in the interior of the water droplet. This difference in electric field distribution may contribute to the enhanced surface reactivity observed in microdroplets.

Revisiting the Effect of the Air-Water Interface of UltrasonicallyAtomized Water Microdroplets on H2O2Formation

Duy Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study reinvestigated the influence of ultrasonic cavitation, surface modification of droplets, and solutes in the bulk liquid on H2O2 production. The results confirm that H2O2 formation originates from cavitation in bulk solutions, and the air-water interface of water microdroplets itself does not generate H2O2.

Spontaneous Formation of Hydrogen Peroxide in Water Microdroplets

Joseph P. Heindel et al.

Summary: There is growing evidence that chemical reactions in micrometer-sized liquid droplets can occur at significantly accelerated rates. However, the molecular mechanism behind this enhancement is still unclear. In this study, the authors investigate the energy step of hydroxide ions converting to hydroxyl radicals in microdroplets, and find that the ionization energy of partially solvated hydroxide ions is greatly reduced at the droplet's interface.

Summary: Liquids play a crucial role in the atmosphere, providing interfaces for gas transfer, nucleation, and chemical reactions. The combination of spectroscopic tools with liquid microjets has greatly enhanced our understanding of dynamics, structure, and chemistry at liquid interfaces. This knowledge is essential for understanding physical and chemical processes at liquid interfaces and their impact on the atmospheric environment.

Spontaneous oxidation of I- in water microdroplets and its atmospheric implications

Dong Xing et al.

Summary: Organic iodine molecules released by algae in the ocean are known to be the major source of I and I-2 in the atmosphere through photodissociation. This study shows the spontaneous and ultrafast oxidation of I- into I, which further transforms into I-2(-) and I-3(-) in water microdroplets, providing a previously unknown source of I and I-2 in atmospheric water. Mass spectrometric evidence suggests that hydroxyl radicals generated in water microdroplets are responsible for the oxidation of I-. These findings suggest that microdroplet chemistry may significantly contribute to atmospheric redox chemistry.

Direct field evidence of autocatalytic iodine release from atmospheric aerosol

Yee Jun Tham et al.

Summary: Reactive iodine, specifically hypoiodous acid (HOI), and interhalogen products (e.g., ICI and IBr), were directly observed in a midlatitude coastal environment, showing faster formation and photolysis rates than previously believed. The photolysis of ICI and IBr increased atomic iodine production rate by 32%, leading to a 10-20% enhancement in daytime average iodine-catalyzed ozone loss rate. These findings highlight the importance of autocatalytic iodine release from marine aerosols in the atmosphere and its impact on atmospheric oxidation capacity.

Measurement of iodine species and sulfuric acid using bromide chemical ionization mass spectrometers

Mingyi Wang et al.

Summary: Iodine species play a crucial role in oxidation and new-particle formation in the marine atmosphere. The application of bromide chemical ionization mass spectrometers, such as Br-MION-CIMS and Br-FIGAERO-CIMS, offers high sensitivity and accurate measurements of gas-phase iodine species and sulfuric acid. Comparisons between the MION and FIGAERO inlets demonstrate that these instruments are well-suited for studying iodine chemistry in marine environments.
