How Bulk Nanobubbles Might Survive [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2020
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 ...

Nanobubble Skin Supersolidity

Langmuir, 2016
Water nanobubbles manifest fascinatingly higher mechanical strength, higher thermal stability, and longer lifetime than macroscopic bubbles; thus, they provide an important impact in applications in the biomedical and chemical industries. However, a detailed understanding of the mechanism behind these mysteries of nanobubbles remains a challenge ...

Stability of Interfacial Nanobubbles

Langmuir, 2013
Interfacial nanobubbles (INBs) on a solid surface in contact with water have drawn widespread research interest. Although several theoretical models have been proposed to explain their apparent long lifetimes, the underlying mechanism still remains in dispute.

Microfluidic nanobubbles: observations of a sudden contraction of microbubbles into nanobubbles

Soft Matter, 2023
Utilizing a microfluidic flow-focusing chip to generate monodisperse bulk nanaobubbles. We make the surprising observation of a critical microbubble diameter above and below which the scale of bubble shrinkage dramatically changes.

Solar Steam Nanobubbles

ACS Nano, 2013
Silica-gold core-shell nanoparticles that are immersed in water act as efficient nanoscale generators of steam when illuminated with sunlight. In their paper in this issue of ACS Nano, Halas, Nordlander, and co-workers demonstrate this intriguing phenomenon that results from the nucleation of steam at the surface of individual nanoparticles that are ...

Nanobubbles and nanoparticles

Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2021
Abstract Gas saturated solutions have attracted great attention in the past two decades with reports of stable nanobubbles in solutions. The fundamental interest focus arises from the surprising stability which opens up a wide range of potential applications where the interactions between particles and nanobubbles are important.

Surface Nanobubbles Nucleate Liquid Boiling

Langmuir, 2018
Surface nanobubbles have been presumed to lead to the experimental observation that liquid boiling often occurs at a much lower supersaturation than expected, yet no qualitative theory exists to explain how they participate in the process. Here, we report through a simple theoretical analysis on how the metastable nanobubbles nucleate the liquid-to ...

Forever blowing nanobubbles

Nature Reviews Chemistry, 2020
The formation of nanobubbles can limit the efficiency of nanoelectrodes. Molecular simulations can provide important physical insights on the nanobubble nucleation process that results in the current insensitivity to applied potential.
