Lubricating properties of single metal ions at interfaces (2018)
Journal Article
Cafolla, C., & Voïtchovsky, K. (2018). Lubricating properties of single metal ions at interfaces. Nanoscale, 10(25), 11831-11840. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8nr02859a

The behaviour of ionic solutions confined in nanoscale gaps is central to countless processes, from biomolecular function to electrochemistry, energy storage and lubrication. However, no clear link exists between the molecular-level behaviour of the... Read More about Lubricating properties of single metal ions at interfaces.
