Ions at the Air-Water Interface: An End to a Hundred-Year-Old Mystery?
Ions at the Air-Water Interface: An End to a Hundred-Year-Old Mystery?
Availability of highly reactive halogen ions at the surface of aerosols has tremendous implications for the atmospheric chemistry. Yet neither simulations, experiments, nor existing theories are able to provide a fully consistent description of the electrolyte-air interface. In this Letter a new theory is proposed which allows us to explicitly …
