Nano Droplets Observed! Breakthrough in Nanoscale Wettability Analysis

Описание: KAIST researchers have achieved a groundbreaking feat: directly observing nano-sized water droplets in real-time using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). This allows precise analysis of how water adheres to and detaches from surfaces.
This innovation has major implications for:
Hydrogen production catalysts: Improving efficiency by understanding water droplet detachment.
Semiconductor manufacturing: Enhancing process quality through precise liquid spreading analysis.
Fuel cells and batteries: Optimizing performance through nanoscale liquid behavior control.
Professor Seungbum Hong's team's research, published in 'ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces', provides a core analysis technology for next-generation energy and electronic materials. The research confirmed a difference in the nano-droplet contact angle depending on the material's electrical direction (polarization).
