Abstract
Friction and lubrication are ubiquitous in all kinds of movements and play a vital role in the smooth operation of production machinery. Water is indispensable both in the lubrication systems of natural organisms and in hydration lubrication systems. There exists a high degree of similarity between these systems, which has driven the development of hydration lubrication from biomimetic to artificial manufacturing. In particular, significant advancements have been made in the understanding of the mechanisms of hydration lubrication over the past 30 years. This enhanced understanding has further stimulated the exploration of biomimetic inspiration from natural hydration lubrication systems, to develop novel artificial hydration lubrication systems that are cost-effective, easily transportable, and possess excellent capability. This review summarizes the recent experimental and theoretical advances in the understanding of hydration-lubrication processes. The entire paper is divided into three parts. Firstly, surface interactions relevant to hydration lubrication are discussed, encompassing topics such as hydrogen bonding, hydration layer, electric double layer force, hydration force, and Stribeck curve. The second part begins with an introduction to articular cartilage in biomaterial lubrication, discussing its compositional structure and lubrication mechanisms. Subsequently, three major categories of bio-inspired artificial manufacturing lubricating material systems are presented, including hydrogels, polymer brushes (e.g., neutral, positive, negative and zwitterionic brushes), hydration lubricant additives (e.g., nano-particles, polymers, ionic liquids), and their related lubrication mechanism is also described. Finally, the challenges and perspectives for hydration lubrication research and materials development are presented.

Abstract
Gas sensors based on conducting polymers offer great potential for high-performance room temperature applications due to their cost-effectiveness, high-sensitivity, and operational advantage. However, their current performance is limited by the deficiency of control in conventional polymerization methods, leading to poor crystallinity and inconsistent material properties. Here, the quasi-liquid layer (QLL) on the ice surface acts as a self-regulating nano-reactor for precise control of thermodynamics and kinetics in the polymerization, resulting in a 7.62 nm thick two-dimensional (2D) polyaniline (PANI) film matching the QLL thickness. The ultra-thin film optimizes the exposure of active sites, enhancing the detection of analyte gases at low concentrations. It is validated by fabricating a chemiresistive gas sensor with the 2D PANI film, demonstrating stable room-temperature detection of ammonia down to 10 ppt in ambient air with an impressive 10% response. This achievement represents the highest sensitivity among sensors of this kind while maintaining excellent selectivity and repeatability. Moreover, the QLL-controlled polymerization strategy offers an alternative route for precise control of the polymerization process for conducting polymers, enabling the creation of advanced materials with enhanced properties.

Abstract
Insights into the interaction of fluoroalkyl groups with water are crucial to understanding the polar hydrophobicity of fluorinated compounds, such as Teflon. While an ordered hydrophobic-like 2D water layer has been demonstrated to be present on the surface of macroscopically hydrophobic fluorinated polymers, little is known about how the water infiltrates into the Teflon and what is the molecular structure of the water infiltrated into the Teflon. Using highly sensitive femtosecond sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy (SFG-VS), we observe for the first time that monomeric H2O and chiral OH-(H2O) complexes are present in macroscopically hydrophobic Teflon. The species are inhomogeneously distributed inside the Teflon matrix and at the Teflon surface. No water clusters or single-file water "wires" are observed in the matrix. SFG free induction decay (SFG-FID) experiments demonstrate that the OH oscillators of physically absorbed molecular water at the surface dephase on the time scale of <230 fs, whereas the water monomers and hydrated hydroxide ions infiltrated in the Teflon matrix dephase much more slowly (680-830 fs), indicating that the embedded monomeric H2O and OH-(H2O) complexes are decoupled from the outer environment. Our findings can well interpret ultrafast water permeation through fluorous nanochannels and the charging mechanism of Teflon, which may tailor the desired applications of organofluorines.

Abstract
Ice is omnipresent in our daily life and possesses intrinsic slipperiness as a result of the formation of a quasi-liquid layer. Thus, the functional surfaces inspired by ice show great prospects in widespread fields from surface lubrication to antifouling coatings. Herein, we report an ice-inspired polymeric slippery surface (II-PSS) constructed by a self-lubricating liquid layer and a densely surface-grafted polymer brush. The polymer brush layer could act as a homogeneous matrix to capture lubricant molecules via strong and dynamic dipole-dipole interactions to form a stable quasi-liquid layer that resembles the ice surface. The II-PSS can be easily fabricated on various solid substrates (e.g., silicon, glass, aluminum oxide, plastics, etc.) with excellent smoothness (roughness of ∼0.4 nm), optical transmittance (∼94.5%), as well as repellence toward diverse liquids with different surface tensions (22.3-72.8 mN m-1), pH values (1-14), salinity, and organic pollutants. Further investigation shows that the II-PSS exhibits extremely low attachment for proteins and marine organisms (e.g., algae and mussels) for over one month. These results demonstrate a robust and promising strategy for high-performance antifouling coatings.

Abstract
Electrolyte freezing under low temperatures is a critical challenge for the development of aqueous batteries (ABs). While lowering the freezing point of the electrolyte has caught major research efforts, limited attention has been paid to the structural evolution during the electrolyte freezing process and regulating the frozen electrolyte structure for low temperature ABs. Here, we reveal the formation process of interconnected liquid regions for ion transport in frozen electrolytes with various in situ variable-temperature technologies. More importantly, the low-temperature performance of ABs was significantly improved with the colloidal electrolyte design using graphene oxide quantum dots (GOQDs), which effectively inhibits the growth of ice crystals and expands the interconnected liquid regions for facial ion transport. This work provides new insights and a promising strategy for the electrolyte design of low-temperature ABs.

Abstract
The classical nucleation theory shows that bulk water freezing does not occur at temperatures above ≈ -30 °C, and that at higher temperatures ice nucleation requires the presence of some ice-binding surfaces. The temperature and rate of ice nucleation depend on the size and level of complementarity between the atomic structure of these surfaces and various H-bond-rich/depleted crystal planes. In our experiments, the ice nucleation temperature was within a range from -8 °C to -15 °C for buffer and water in plastic test tubes. Upon the addition of ice-initiating substances (i.e., conventional AgI or CuO investigated here), ice appeared in a range from -3 °C to -7 °C, and in the presence of the ice-nucleating bacterium Pseudomonas syringae from -1 °C to -2 °C. The addition of an antifreeze protein inhibited the action of the tested ice-initiating agents.

Abstract
The premelting layer plays an important role in ice growth, but there is a significant gap in our knowledge between the atomistic premelting surface structure and the macroscopic growth mechanism. In this work, using large-scale molecular dynamics simulation, we reveal the existence of clusters on the premelting surface, as an intermediate feature bridging the gap. We show the spontaneous formation and evolution of clusters, and they form a stable distribution determined by the growth rate. We demonstrate how this stable distribution is related to the growth mode of ice, connected by the growth of clusters. We come to a bilayer-by-bilayer growth mode at simulation-reachable high growth rates, but another mechanism, namely "cluster stacking", is speculated to exist at lower growth rates. This work builds a connection between the microscopic structure of the premelting layer and the macroscopic growth of ice, making a step forward toward the full understanding of premelting and ice growth.

Abstract
Abstract
Antifreeze proteins, expressed in cold-blooded organisms, prevent ice formation in their bodies, and thus help them to survive in extremely cold winter temperatures. However, the mechanism of action of these proteins is still not clear. In any case, it is not simply a decrease in the temperature of normal ice formation. In this work, investigating the ice-binding protein (a mutant form of the antifreeze protein cfAFP from the spruce budworm Choristoneura fumiferana, which overwinters in needles), we showed that this antifreeze protein does not at all lower the freezing point of water and, paradoxically, increases the melting point of ice. On the other hand, calculations based on the theory of crystallization show that at temperatures of 0 ° to –30°C ice can only appear on surfaces that contact water, but not in the body of water. These facts suggest a new perspective on the role of antifreeze proteins: their task is not (as it is commonly believed) to bind with nascent ice crystals already formed in the organism and stop their growth, but to bind to those surfaces, on which ice nuclei can appear, and thus completely inhibit the ice formation in supercooled water or biological fluid.

Abstract
The discovery of peculiar quasi-liquid layers on ice surfaces marks a major breakthrough in ice-related sciences, as the facile tuning of the reactions and morphologies of substances in contact with these layers make ice-assisted chemistry a low-cost, environmentally benign, and ubiquitous methodology for the synthesis of nanomaterials with improved functionality. Ice-templated synthesis of porous materials offers the appealing features of rapid self-organization and remarkable property changes arising from confinement effects and affords materials that have found a diverse range of applications such as batteries, supercapacitors, and gas separation. Moreover, much attention has been drawn to the acceleration of chemical reactions and transformations on the ice surface due to the freeze concentration effect, fast self-diffusion of surface water, and modulated surface potential energy. Some of these results are related to the accumulation of inorganic contaminants in glaciers and the blockage of natural gas pipelines. As an emerging theme in nanomaterial design, the dimension-controlled synthesis of hybrid materials with unprecedentedly enhanced properties on ice surfaces has attracted much interest. However, a deep understanding of quasi-liquid layer characteristics (and hence, the development of cutting-edge analytical technologies with high surface sensitivity) is required to achieve the current goal of ice-assisted chemistry, namely the preparation of tailor-made materials with the desired properties.

Abstract
![]()
We study the properties of acetic
acid and propionic acid solutions
at the surface of monocrystalline ice with surface-specific vibrational
sum-frequency generation (VSFG) and heterodyne-detected vibrational
sum-frequency generation spectroscopy (HD-VSFG). When we decrease
the temperature toward the eutectic point of the acid solutions, we
observe the formation of a freeze concentrated solution (FCS) of the
carboxylic acids that is brought about by a freeze-induced phase separation
(FIPS). The freeze concentrated solution freezes on top of the ice
surface as we cool the system below the eutectic point. We find that
for freeze concentrated acetic acid solutions the freezing causes
a strong decrease of the VSFG signal, while for propionic acid an
increase and a blue-shift are observed. This different behavior points
at a distinct difference in molecular-scale behavior when cooling
below the eutectic point. We find that cooling of the propionic acid
solution below the eutectic point leads to the formation of hydrogen-bonded
dimers with an opposite alignment of the carboxylic acid O–H
groups.

Abstract
With climate modeling predicting a raise of at least 2°C by year 2100, the fate of ice has become a serious concern, but we still do not understand how ice grows (or melts). In the atmosphere, crystal growth rates of basal and prism facets exhibit an enigmatic temperature dependence and crossover up to three times in a range between 0° and -40°. Here, we use large-scale computer simulations to characterize the ice surface and identify a sequence of previously unidentified phase transitions on the main facets of ice crystallites. Unexpectedly, we find that as temperature is increased, the crystal surface transforms from a disordered phase with proliferation of steps to a smooth phase with small step density. This causes the anomalous increase of step free energies and provides the long sought explanation for the enigmatic crossover of snow crystal growth rates found in the atmosphere.

Abstract
Understanding the wetting properties of premelting films requires knowledge of the film's equation of state, which is not usually available. Here we calculate the disjoining pressure curve of premelting films and perform a detailed thermodynamic characterization of premelting behavior on ice. Analysis of the density profiles reveals the signature of weak layering phenomena, from one to two and from two to three water molecular layers. However, disjoining pressure curves, which closely follow expectations from a renormalized mean field liquid state theory, show that there are no layering phase transitions in the thermodynamic sense along the sublimation line. Instead, we find that transitions at mean field level are rounded due to capillary wave fluctuations. We see signatures that true first order layering transitions could arise at low temperatures, for pressures between the metastable line of water-vapor coexistence and the sublimation line. The extrapolation of the disjoining pressure curve above water-vapor saturation displays a true first order phase transition from a thin to a thick film consistent with experimental observations.

Abstract
The viscosity of the ice premelting layer in contact with silica in the temperature range of -18 to -1 °C was studied by resonance shear measurement (RSM). The viscosity of the ice premelting layer was determined to be ∼5 orders of magnitude greater than that of the bulk liquid water and continuously decreased with the increasing sliding speed between the two surfaces over the temperature range employed in this study, which was the same behavior as for the typical confined liquids including water. On the other hand, the normal load and the contact pressure did not influence the viscosity, indicating that the premelting layer behaved differently from the typical confined liquids.

Abstract
There is a strong imperative to reduce the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment, and many efforts are currently being made to replace conventional hazardous VOCs in favour of safe, green and bio-renewable reaction media that are not based on crude petroleum. Recent ground-breaking studies from a few laboratories worldwide have shown that both Grignard and (functionalised) organolithium reagents, traditionally handled under strict exclusion of air and humidity and in anhydrous VOCs, can smoothly promote both nucleophilic additions to unsaturated substrates and nucleophilic substitutions in water and other bio-based solvents (glycerol, deep eutectic solvents), competitively with protonolysis, at room temperature and under air. The chemistry of polar organometallics in the above protic media is a complex phenomenon influenced by several factors, and understanding its foundational character is stimulating in the perspective of the development of a sustainable organometallic chemistry.

Abstract
We study the resonant interaction of the OH stretch vibrations of water molecules at the surfaces of liquid water and ice using heterodyne-detected sum-frequency generation (HD-SFG) spectroscopy. By studying different isotopic mixtures of H2O and D2O, we vary the strength of the interaction, and we monitor the resulting effect on the HD-SFG spectrum of the OH stretch vibrations. We observe that the near-resonant coupling effects are weaker at the surface than in the bulk, for both water and ice, indicating that for both phases of water the OH vibrations are less strongly delocalized at the surface than in the bulk.
