How Bulk Nanobubbles Might Survive [PDF]
The existence of bulk nanobubbles has long been regarded with scepticism, due to the limitations of experimental techniques and the widespread assumption that spherical bubbles cannot achieve stable equilibrium. We develop a model for the stability of bulk nanobubbles based on the experimental observation that the zeta potential of spherical bubbles ...

Effect of Organic Compounds and Alkalinity on the Stability of Bulk Nanobubbles: A Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]
Bulk nanobubbles (NBs) are remarkably long-lived in liquids, yet the molecular mechanisms underpinning their stability remain unresolved. In this work, 50 ns all-atom molecular dynamics simulations were performed to investigate how gas identity (O2, N2 ...

Stability of surface and bulk nanobubbles
Abstract The existence of stable nanoscopic gaseous domains in liquids, or nanobubbles, has attracted both skepticism and intrigue since classical theory predicts that spherical gas bubbles cannot achieve stable equilibrium. Can we prove these gaseous domains exist, and if they do, how do they survive?

A Deliberation on Nanobubbles at Surfaces and in Bulk
AbstractSurface and bulk nanobubbles are two types of nanoscopic gaseous domain that have recently been discovered in interfacial physics. Both are expected to be unstable to dissolution because of the high internal pressure driving diffusion and the surface tension which squeezes the gas out, but there is a rapidly growing body of experimental ...

On the Existence and Stability of Bulk Nanobubbles [PDF]
Bulk nanobubbles are a novel type of nanoscale bubble system. Because of their extraordinary behavior, however, their existence is not widely accepted. In this paper, we shed light on the hypothesis that bulk nanobubbles do exist, they are filled with gas, and they survive for long periods of time, challenging present theories.

Bulk nanobubbles, generation methods and potential applications
Abstract The existence of nanobubbles, especially bulk nanobubbles, remains a mystery mainly due to their stability and longevity, properties that are investigated by many research groups worldwide. At the same time, high efforts are given to develop new generation methods, and so far, their potential uses have spread to high-value applications. Some

Exsolution, Evolution, and Hysteresis of CO2 Nanobubbles in Water‐Saturated Sandstone
Understanding CO2 nanobubble formation in water‐saturated sandstone is critical for understanding fluid behavior in CO2 storage systems. Here, CO2 exsolution from an aqueous phase in a sandstone was investigated using small‐angle neutron scattering at 50°

Comment on “Bulk Nanobubbles or Not Nanobubbles: That is the Question” [PDF]
In a recent article, Jadhav and Barigou ( Langmuir 2020, 36 (7), 1699-1708) investigated the question of the existence of stable bulk nanobubbles in water generated by hydrodynamic cavitation, ultrasound cavitation, and the addition of an organic compound (namely, ethanol) to water.
