Abstract
This study investigates the interface between ice and organic solvents using atomic force microscopy (AFM). Atomically flat ice surfaces were prepared and observed by AFM in 1-octanol, 1-hexanol, and 1-butanol. The results show differences in surface roughness influenced by the interaction of ice and alcohols. Young's modulus of ice was analyzed by force curve measurements, providing valuable insights into the properties of ice in liquid environments. The results showed the characteristics of the ice surface in different solvents, suggesting potential applications in understanding surface and interface phenomena associated with ice under realistic conditions.

Abstract
Icing plays an important role in various physical-chemical process. Although the formation of two-dimensional ice requires nanoscale confinement, two-dimensional bilayer ice in coexistence with three-dimensional ice without confinement remains poorly understood. Here, a critical value of a surface energy parameter is identified to characterize the liquid-solid interface interaction, above which two-dimensional and three-dimensional coexisting ice can surprisingly form on the surface. The two-dimensional ice growth mechanisms could be revealed by capturing the growth and merged of the metastable edge structures. The phase diagram about temperature and pressure vs energy parameters is predicted to distinguish liquid water, two-dimensional ice and three-dimensional ice. Furthermore, the deicing characteristics of coexisting ice demonstrate that the ice adhesion strength is linearly related to the ratio of ice-surface interaction energy to ice temperature. In addition, for gas-solid phase transition, the phase diagram about temperature and energy parameters is predicted to distinguish gas, liquid water, two-dimensional ice and three-dimensional ice. This work gives a perspective for studying the singular structure and dynamics of ice in nanoscale and provides a guide for future experimental realization of the coexisting ice.

Abstract
Solid-water interfaces are ubiquitous in nature and technology. In particular, technologies evolving in the green transition, such as electrocatalysis, heavily rely on the junction of an electrolyte and an electrode as a central part of the device. For the understanding of atomic-scale processes taking place at the electrolyte-electrode interface, density functional theory (DFT) has become the de facto standard. The validation of DFT's ability to simulate the interfacial solid/water interaction is crucial, and ideal simulation setups need to be identified in order to prevent avoidable systematic errors. Here, we develop a rigorous sampling protocol for benchmarking the adsorption/desorption energetics of water on metallic surfaces against experimental temperature programmed desorption, single crystal adsorption calorimetry, and thermal energy atom scattering. We screened DFT's quality on a series of transition metal surfaces, applying three of the most common exchange-correlation approximations: PBE-D3, RPBE-D3, and BEEF-vdW. We find that all three xc-functionals reflect the pseudo-zeroth order desorption of water rooted in the combination of attractive adsorbate-adsorbate interactions and their saturation at low and intermediate coverages, respectively. However, both RPBE-D3 and BEEF-vdW lead to more accurate water adsorption strengths, while PBE-D3 clearly overbinds near-surface water. We relate the variations in binding strength to specific variations in water-metal and water-water interactions, highlighting the structural consequences inherent in an uninformed choice of simulation parameters. Our study gives atomistic insight into water's complex adsorption equilibrium. Furthermore, it represents a guideline for future DFT-based simulations of solvated solid interfaces by providing an assessment of systematic errors in specific setups.

Abstract
Water tends to wet all hydrophilic surfaces under ambient conditions, and the first water adlayers on solids are important for a broad range of physicochemical phenomena and technological processes, including corrosion, wetting, lubrication, anti-icing, catalysis, and electrochemistry. Unfortunately, challenges in characterizing the first water adlayer in the laboratory have hampered molecular-level understanding of the contact water structure. Herein, we present the first ab initio molecular dynamics simulation evidence of a previously unreported ice-like adlayer structure (named as Ice-AL-II) on a prototype mica surface under ambient conditions. Calculation showed that the newly identified Ice-AL-II structure is more stable than the widely recognized ice-adlayer structure on mica surfaces (named as Ice-AL-I). Ice-AL-II exhibited a face-centered corner-cut tetragon (or a face-centered irregular pentagon) pattern of a hydrogen-bonded network. The center of the corner-cut tetragon was occupied by either a K+ cation or a water molecule with two H atoms pinned by the mica (100) via double hydrogen bonds. Our simulation also suggested that bilayer Ice-AL-II favors AA stacking rather than AB stacking. Interestingly, when a graphene sheet was coated on top of the ice-like adlayer, the stability of Ice-AL-II was further enhanced. In contrast, due to its strongly puckered structure, the Ice-AL-I structure could be crushed into a near-Ice-AL-II structure by the graphene coating. Ice-AL-II is thus proposed as a promising candidate for the ice-like structure on a mica surface detected by scanning polarization force microscopy and by atomic force microscopy between a graphene coating and a mica surface.

Abstract
Low-dimensional water transport can be drastically enhanced under atomic-scale confinement. However, its microscopic origin is still under debate. In this work, we directly imaged the atomic structure and transport of two-dimensional water islands on graphene and hexagonal boron nitride surfaces using qPlus-based atomic force microscopy. The lattice of the water island was incommensurate with the graphene surface but commensurate with the boron nitride surface owing to different surface electrostatics. The area-normalized static friction on the graphene diminished as the island area was increased by a power of ~-0.58, suggesting superlubricity behavior. By contrast, the friction on the boron nitride appeared insensitive to the area. Molecular dynamic simulations further showed that the friction coefficient of the water islands on the graphene could reduce to <0.01.

Abstract
Ice surfaces are closely relevant to many physical and chemical properties, such as melting, freezing, friction, gas uptake and atmospheric reaction1-8. Despite extensive experimental and theoretical investigations9-17, the exact atomic structures of ice interfaces remain elusive owing to the vulnerable hydrogen-bonding network and the complicated premelting process. Here we realize atomic-resolution imaging of the basal (0001) surface structure of hexagonal water ice (ice Ih) by using qPlus-based cryogenic atomic force microscopy with a carbon monoxide-functionalized tip. We find that the crystalline ice-Ih surface consists of mixed Ih- and cubic (Ic)-stacking nanodomains, forming 19 × 19 periodic superstructures. Density functional theory reveals that this reconstructed surface is stabilized over the ideal ice surface mainly by minimizing the electrostatic repulsion between dangling OH bonds. Moreover, we observe that the ice surface gradually becomes disordered with increasing temperature (above 120 Kelvin), indicating the onset of the premelting process. The surface premelting occurs from the defective boundaries between the Ih and Ic domains and can be promoted by the formation of a planar local structure. These results put an end to the longstanding debate on ice surface structures and shed light on the molecular origin of ice premelting, which may lead to a paradigm shift in the understanding of ice physics and chemistry.

Abstract
We characterize the effect of rubidium ions on water-ice nanoislands in terms of area, fractal dimension, and apparent height by low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. Water nanoislands on the pristine Cu(111) surface are compared to those at similar coverage on a Rb+ pre-covered Cu(111) surface to reveal the structure-giving effect of Rb+. The presence of Rb+ induces changes in the island shape, and hence, the water network, without affecting the nanoisland volume. The broad area distribution shifts to larger values while the height decreases from three bilayers to one or two bilayers. The nanoislands on the Rb+ pre-covered surface are also more compact, reflected in a shift in the fractal dimension distribution. We relate the changes to a weakening of the hydrogen-bond network by Rb+.

Abstract
The growth of two-dimensional (2D) materials through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) has sparked a growing interest among both the industrial and academic communities. The interest stems from several key advantages associated with CVD, including high yield, high quality, and high tunability. In order to harness the application potentials of 2D materials, it is often necessary to transfer them from their growth substrates to their desired target substrates. However, conventional transfer methods introduce contamination that can adversely affect the quality and properties of the transferred 2D materials, thus limiting their overall application performance. This review presents a comprehensive summary of the current clean transfer methods for 2D materials with a specific focus on the understanding of interaction between supporting layers and 2D materials. The review encompasses various aspects, including clean transfer methods, post-transfer cleaning techniques, and cleanliness assessment. Furthermore, it analyzes and compares the advances and limitations of these clean transfer techniques. Finally, the review highlights the primary challenges associated with current clean transfer methods and provides an outlook on future prospects.

Abstract
We designed and built up a new type of ambient scanning probe microscope (SPM), which is fully compatible with state-of-the-art quantum sensing technology based on the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. We chose a qPlus-type tuning fork (Q up to ∼4400) as the current/force sensor of SPM for its high stiffness and stability under various environments, which yields atomic resolution under scanning tunneling microscopy mode and 1.2-nm resolution under atomic force microscopy mode. The tip of SPM can be used to directly image the topography of nanoscale targets on diamond surfaces for quantum sensing and to manipulate the electrostatic environment of NV centers to enhance their sensitivity up to a single proton spin. In addition, we also demonstrated scanning magnetometry and electrometry with a spatial resolution of ∼20 nm. Our new system not only paves the way for integrating atomic/molecular-scale color-center qubits onto SPM tips to produce quantum tips but also provides the possibility of fabricating color-center qubits with nanoscale or atomic precision.

Abstract
The inherent discontinuity and unique dimensional attributes of nanomaterial surfaces and interfaces bestow them with various exceptional properties. These properties, however, also introduce difficulties for both experimental and computational studies. The advent of machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) addresses some of the limitations associated with empirical force fields, presenting a valuable avenue for accurate simulations of these surfaces/interfaces of nanomaterials. Central to this approach is the idea of capturing the relationship between system configuration and potential energy, leveraging the proficiency of machine learning (ML) to precisely approximate high-dimensional functions. This review offers an in-depth examination of MLIP principles and their execution and elaborates on their applications in the realm of nanomaterial surface and interface systems. The prevailing challenges faced by this potent methodology are also discussed.

Abstract
In extreme and nanoconfinement conditions, the tetrahedral arrangement of water molecules is challenged, resulting in a rich and new phase behavior unseen in bulk phases. The unique phase behavior of water confined in hydrophobic nanoslits has been previously observed, such as the formation of a variety of two-dimensional (2D) ices below the freezing temperature. The primary identified 2D ice phase, termed square tube ice (STI), represents a unique arrangement of water molecules in 2D ice, which can be viewed as an array of 1D ice nanotubes stacked in the direction parallel to the confinement plane. In this study, we report the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations evidence of a novel 2D ice phase, namely, helical square tube ice (H-STI). H-STI is characterized by the stacking of helical ice nanotubes in the direction parallel to the confinement plane. Its structural specificity is evident in the presence of helical square ice nanotubes, a configuration unseen in both STI and single-walled ice nanotubes. A detailed analysis of the hydrogen bonding strength showed that H-STI is a 2D ice phase diverging from the Bernal-Fowler-Pauling ice rules by forming only two strong hydrogen bonds between adjacent molecules along its helical ice chain. This arrangement of strong hydrogen bonds along ice nanotube and weak bonds between the ice nanotube shows a similarity to quasi-one-dimensional van der Waals materials. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations (over a 30 ps) were employed to further verify H-STI's stability at 1 GPa and temperature up to 200 K.

Abstract
Nanosheet-based membranes have shown enormous potential for energy-efficient molecular transport and separation applications, but designing these membranes for specific separations remains a great challenge due to the lack of good understanding of fluid transport mechanisms in complex nanochannels. We synthesized reduced MXene/graphene hetero-channel membranes with sub-1-nm pores for experimental measurements and theoretical modeling of their structures and fluid transport rates. Our experiments showed that upon complete rejection of salt and organic dyes, these membranes with subnanometer channels exhibit remarkably high solvent fluxes, and their solvent transport behavior is very different from their homo-structured counterparts. We proposed a subcontinuum flow model that enables accurate prediction of solvent flux in sub-1-nm slit-pore membranes by building a direct relationship between the solvent molecule-channel wall interaction and flux from the confined physical properties of a liquid and the structural parameters of the membranes. This work provides a basis for the rational design of nanosheet-based membranes for advanced separation and emerging nanofluidics.

Abstract
The permeability and selectivity of biological and artificial ion channels correlate with the specific hydration structure of single ions. However, fundamental understanding of the effect of ion-ion interaction remains elusive. Here, via non-contact atomic force microscopy measurements, we demonstrate that hydrated alkali metal cations (Na+ and K+) at charged surfaces could come into close contact with each other through partial dehydration and water rearrangement processes, forming one-dimensional chain structures. We prove that the interplay at the nanoscale between the water-ion and water-water interaction can lead to an effective ion-ion attraction overcoming the ionic Coulomb repulsion. The tendency for different ions to become closely packed follows the sequence K+ > Na+ > Li+, which is attributed to their different dehydration energies and charge densities. This work highlights the key role of water molecules in prompting close packing and concerted movement of ions at charged surfaces, which may provide new insights into the mechanism of ion transport under atomic confinement.

Abstract
Inspired by selective ion transport in biological membrane proteins, researchers developed artificial ion channels that sieve monovalent cations, catering to the increasing lithium demand. In this work, we engineered an ion transport channel based on the confined ice within two-dimensional (2D) capillaries and found that the permselectivity of monovalent cations depends on the anisotropy of the confined ice. Particularly, the 2D confined ice showed an anomalous lithium selective transport along the (002) direction in the vermiculite capillary, with the Li+/Na+ and Li+/K+ permselectivity reaching up to 556 ± 86 and 901 ± 172, respectively, superior to most ion-selective channels. However, the 2D confined ice along the (100) direction showed less Li+ permselectivity. Additionally, the anisotropy of 2D confined ice can be tuned by adjusting the interlayer spacing. By providing insights into the ion transport in the 2D confined ice, our work may inspire more design of monovalent ion-selective channels for efficient lithium separation.

Abstract
Self-assembly is a widely used synthetic method in nanoscience to assemble well-organized structures. Self-assembly processes usually occur in a water solvent environment. However, the self-assembly of water molecules is rarely studied. Herein, we show a strategy to fabricate porous ice via carbon nanomaterial-assisted self-assembly. Diverse frameworks of nanoporous ice are formed by using orthorhombic and tetragonal arrays of carbon nanotubes or carbon-atom chains as templates. In contrast to many bulk ices discovered in nature, nanoporous ices are shown to be stable only under negative pressure. Hence, nanoporous ices cannot be produced through the direct nucleation of water at negative pressure. The template-assisted self-assembly method is shown to be the most effective method to fabricate nanoporous ice in quantity. Several key factors for the self-assembly of nanoporous ices are identified, including proper gap spacings in the carbon nanomaterial template and suitable interactions between water and the carbon nanomaterials.

Abstract
Condensation and arrangement of ions at water-solid interfaces are of great importance in the formation of electrical double layers (EDL) and the transport of ions under a confined geometry. So far, the microscopic understanding of interfacial ion configurations is still far from complete, especially when the local ion concentration is high and ion-ion interactions become prominent. In this study, we directly visualized alkali metal cations within the hydrogen-bonding network of water on graphite and Cu(111)-supported graphene surfaces, using qPlus-based noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM). We found that the codeposition of the alkali cations and water molecules on the hydrophobic graphite surface leads to the formation of an ion-doped bilayer hexagonal ice (BHI) structure, where the ions are repelled from each other and scattered in a disordered distribution. In contrast, the hydrated alkali cations aggregate in one dimension on the more hydrophilic graphene/Cu(111) surface, forming a nematic state with a long-range order. Such a nematic state arises from the delicate interplay between water-ion and water-water interactions under surface confinement. These results reveal the high sensitivity of ion-ion interactions and ionic ordering to the surface hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity.

Abstract
The interaction of water with surfaces is crucially important in a wide range of natural and technological settings. In particular, at low temperatures, unveiling the atomistic structure of adsorbed water clusters would provide valuable data for understanding the ice nucleation process. Using high-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy, several studies have demonstrated the presence of water pentamers, hexamers, and heptamers (and of their combinations) on a variety of metallic surfaces, as well as the initial stages of 2D ice growth on an insulating surface. However, in all of these cases, the observed structures were completely flat, providing a relatively straightforward path to interpretation. Here, we present high-resolution AFM measurements of several water clusters on Au(111) and Cu(111), whose understanding presents significant challenges due to both their highly 3D configuration and their large size. For each of them, we use a combination of machine learning, atomistic modeling with neural network potentials, and statistical sampling to propose an underlying atomic structure, finally comparing its AFM simulated images to the experimental ones. These results provide insights into the early phases of ice formation, which is a ubiquitous phenomenon ranging from biology to astrophysics.

Abstract
Clathrate hydrates reserved in the seabed are often dispersed in the pores of coarse-grained sediments; hence, their formation typically occurs under nanoconfinement. Herein, we show the first molecular dynamics (MD) simulation evidence of the spontaneous formation of two-dimensional (2D) clathrate hydrates on crystal surfaces without conventional nanoconfinement. The kinetic process of 2D clathrate formation is illustrated via simulated single-molecule deposition. 2D amorphous patterns are observed on various superhydrophilic face-centered cubic surfaces. Notably, the formation of 2D amorphous clathrate can occur over a wide range of temperatures, even at room temperature. The strong water-surface interaction, the characteristic properties of guest-gas molecules, and the underlying surface structure dictate the formation of 2D amorphous clathrates. Semiquantitative phase diagrams of 2D clathrates are constructed where representative patterns of 2D clathrates for characteristic gas molecules on prototypical Pd(111) and Pt(111) surfaces are confirmed by independent MD simulations. A tunable pattern of 2D amorphous clathrates is demonstrated by changing the lattice strain of the underlying substrate. Moreover, ab initio MD simulations confirm the stability of 2D amorphous clathrate. The underlining physical mechanism for 2D clathrate formation on superhydrophilic surfaces is elucidated, which offers deeper insight into the crucial role of water-surface interaction.

Abstract
Ice crystals at low temperatures exhibit structural polymorphs including hexagonal ice, cubic ice, or a hetero-crystalline mixture of the two phases. Despite the significant implications of structure-dependent roles of ice, mechanisms behind the growths of each polymorph have been difficult to access quantitatively. Using in-situ cryo-electron microscopy and computational ice-dynamics simulations, we directly observe crystalline ice growth in an amorphous ice film of nanoscale thickness, which exhibits three-dimensional ice nucleation and subsequent two-dimensional ice growth. We reveal that nanoscale ice crystals exhibit polymorph-dependent growth kinetics, while hetero-crystalline ice exhibits anisotropic growth, with accelerated growth occurring at the prismatic planes. Fast-growing facets are associated with low-density interfaces that possess higher surface energy, driving tetrahedral ordering of interfacial H2O molecules and accelerating ice growth. These findings, based on nanoscale observations, improve our understanding on early stages of ice formation and mechanistic roles of the ice interface.

Abstract
Water plays a crucial role in various heterogeneous catalytic reactions, but the atomic-scale characterization of how water participates in these chemical processes remains a significant challenge. Here we directly visualize the promoting role of interfacial water in the deprotonation of formic acid (FA) on a metal surface, using combined scanning tunneling microscopy and qPlus-based noncontact atomic force microscopy. We find the dissociation of FA when coadsorbed with water on the Cu(111) surface, resulting in the formation of hydronium and formate ions. Interestingly, most of the hydrated proton and formate ions exhibit a phase-separated behavior on Cu(111), in which Eigen and Zundel cations assemble into a monolayer hexagonal hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) network, and bidentate formate ions are solvated with water and aggregate into one-dimensional chains or two-dimensional H-bonding networks. This phase-separated behavior is essential for preventing the proton transfer back from hydronium to formate and the reformation of FA. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the participation of water significantly reduces the deprotonation barrier of FA on Cu(111), in which water catalyzes the decomposition of FA through the Grotthuss proton transfer mechanism. In addition, the separate solvation of hydronium and bidentate formate ions is energetically preferred due to the enhanced interaction with the copper substrate. The promoting role of water in the deprotonation of FA is further confirmed by the temperature-programmed desorption experiment, which shows that the intensity of the H2 desorption peak significantly increases and the desorption of FA declines when water and FA coadsorbed on the Cu(111) surface.

Abstract
Water molecules in any of the ice polymorphs organize themselves into a perfect four-coordinated hydrogen-bond network at the expense of dense packing. Even at high pressures, there seems to be no way to reconcile the ice rules with the close packing. Here, we report several close-packed ice phases in carbon nanotubes obtained from molecular dynamics simulations of two different water models. Typically they are in plastic states at high temperatures and are transformed into the hydrogen-ordered ice, keeping their close-packed structures at lower temperatures. The close-packed structures of water molecules in carbon nanotubes are identified with those of spheres in a cylinder. We present design principles of hydrogen-ordered, close-packed structures of ice in nanotubes, which suggest many possible dense ice forms with or without nonzero polarization. In fact, some of the simulated ices are found to exhibit ferroelectric ordering upon cooling.

Abstract
Interfacial water molecules are the most important participants in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Hence, understanding the behavior and role that interfacial water plays will ultimately reveal the HER mechanism. Unfortunately, investigating interfacial water is extremely challenging owing to the interference caused by bulk water molecules and complexity of the interfacial environment. Here, the behaviors of interfacial water in different cationic electrolytes on Pd surfaces were investigated by the electrochemistry, in situ core-shell nanostructure enhanced Raman spectroscopy and theoretical simulation techniques. Direct spectral evidence reveals a red shift in the frequency and a decrease in the intensity of interfacial water as the potential is shifted in the positively direction. When comparing the different cation electrolyte systems at a given potential, the frequency of the interfacial water peak increases in the specified order: Li+ < Na+ < K+ < Ca2+ < Sr2+. The structure of interfacial water was optimized by adjusting the radius, valence, and concentration of cation to form the two-H down structure. This unique interfacial water structure will improve the charge transfer efficiency between the water and electrode further enhancing the HER performance. Therefore, local cation tuning strategies can be used to improve the HER performance by optimizing the interfacial water structure.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Bulk nanobubbles (NBs) have high surface charge densities and long lifetimes. Despite several attempts to understand the lifetime of NBs, their interfacial layer structure remains unknown. It is hypothesized that a specific interfacial layer exists with a hydrogen bond network that stabilizes NBs. EXPERIMENTS In situ infrared reflectance-absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory were used to determine the interfacial layer structure of NBs. Furthermore, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to examine the interfacial layer hardness of bubbles filled with N2, O2, and CO2, which was expected to depend on the encapsulated gas species. FINDINGS The interfacial layer was composed of three-, four-, and five-membered ring clusters of water molecules. An interface model was proposed in which a two-dimensional layer of clusters with large electric dipole moments is oriented toward the endohedral gas, and the hydrophobic surface is adjacent to the free water. The interfacial layer hardness was dependent on the interaction with the gas (N2 > O2 > CO2), which supports the proposed interface model. These findings can be generalized to the structure of water at gas-water interfaces.

Abstract
The van der Waals (vdW) assemblies are the most common structures of materials. However, direct mapping of intermolecular electron clouds of a vdW assembly has never been obtained, even though the intramolecular electron clouds were visualized by atomic-resolution techniques. In this report, we unprecedentedly mapped the intermolecular electron cloud of the assemblies of ethanol molecules via ethyl groups with high-resolution atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy at 5 K, leading to the first visualization of vdW molecular chains, in which ethanol molecules assemble into twin vdW molecular chains in a reverse parallel configuration on the Ag(111) plane. Furthermore, spontaneous order-disorder transitions in the chain were dynamically observed, suggesting its unusual properties different from those of 2D vdW materials. These findings provide an "eye" to see the atomic world of vdW materials.

Abstract
Establishing a general model of heterogeneous ice nucleation has long been challenging because of the surface water structures found on different substrates. Identifying common water clusters, regardless of the underlying substrate, is one of the key steps toward solving this problem. Here, we demonstrate the presence of a common water cluster found on both hydrophilic Pt(111) and hydrophobic Cu(111) surfaces using scanning tunneling microscopy and non-contact atomic force microscopy. Water molecules self-assemble into a structure with a central flat-lying hexagon and three fused pentagonal rings, forming a cluster consisting of 15 individual water molecules. This cluster serves as a critical nucleus during ice nucleation on both surfaces: ice growth beyond this cluster bifurcates to form two-dimensional (three-dimensional) layers on hydrophilic (hydrophobic) surfaces. Our results reveal the inherent similarity and distinction at the initial stage of ice growth on hydrophilic and hydrophobic close-packed metal surfaces; thus, these observations provide initial evidence toward a general model for water-substrate interaction.

Abstract
The application of supramolecular chemistry on solid surfaces has received extensive attention in the past few decades. To date, combining experiments with quantum mechanical or molecular dynamic methods represents the key strategy to explore the molecular self-assembled structures, which is, however, often laborious. Recently, machine learning (ML) has become one of the most exciting tools in material research, allowing for both efficiency and accuracy in predicting molecular properties. In this work, we constructed a graph neural network to predict the self-assembly of functional polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on metal surfaces. Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we characterized the self-assembled nanostructures of a homologous series of PAH molecules on different metal surfaces to construct an experimental data set for model training. Compared with traditional ML algorithms, our model exhibits better predictive performance. Finally, the generalization of the model is further verified by comparing the ML predictions and experimental results of different functionalized molecule. Our results demonstrate training experimental data sets to produce a predictive ML model of molecular self-assembly with generalization performance, which allows for the predictive design of nanostructures with functional molecules.

Abstract
Different from hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) sheets, the bandgap of hBN nanoribbons (BNNRs) can be changed by spatial/electrostatic confinement. It is predicted that a transverse electric field can narrow the bandgap and even cause an insulator-metal transition in BNNRs. However, experimentally introducing an overhigh electric field across the BNNR remains challenging. Here, it is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated that water adsorption greatly reduces the bandgap of zigzag-oriented BNNRs (zBNNRs). Ab initio calculations show that water molecules can be favorably assembled within the trench between two adjacent BNNRs to form a polar ice layer, which induces a transverse equivalent electric field of over 2 V nm-1 accounting for the bandgap reduction. Field-effect transistors are successfully fabricated from zBNNRs with different widths. The conductance of water-adsorbed zBNNRs can be tuned over 3 orders in magnitude via modulation of the equivalent electrical field at room temperature. Furthermore, photocurrent response measurements are taken to determine the optical bandgaps of zBNNRs with water adsorption. The zBNNR with increased width can exhibit a bandgap down to 1.17 eV. This study offers fundamental insights into new routes toward realizing electronic/optoelectronic devices and circuits based on hexagonal boron nitride.

Abstract
The nature of the hydrophobicity found in rare-earth oxides is intriguing. The CeO2 (100) surface, despite its strongly hydrophilic nature, exhibits hydrophobic behaviour when immersed in water. In order to understand this puzzling and counter-intuitive effect we performed a detailed analysis of the confined water structure and dynamics. We report here an ab-initio molecular dynamics simulation (AIMD) study which demonstrates that the first adsorbed water layer, in immediate contact with the hydroxylated CeO2 surface, generates a hydrophobic interface with respect to the rest of the liquid water. The hydrophobicity is manifested in several ways: a considerable diffusion enhancement of the confined liquid water as compared with bulk water at the same thermodynamic condition, a weak adhesion energy and few H-bonds above the hydrophobic water layer, which may also sustain a water droplet. These findings introduce a new concept in water/rare-earth oxide interfaces: hydrophobicity mediated by specific water patterns on a hydrophilic surface.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) ice I is atomic-level ice that is composed of two interlocked atomic layers saturated with hydrogen bonds. It has recently been experimentally observed, but its properties have yet to be clarified. Accordingly, we theoretically studied the hydrophobic properties of 2D ice I. On the contrary, a simulation of a hydrogen fluoride molecule on a 2D ice surface manifested that it destroyed the 2D ice structure and connected new hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Investigations of the interfacial effect between 2D and three-dimensional (3D) ice films indicated that the network structure of 2D ice was not destroyed by a 3D ice surface, as the former was saturated with hydrogen bonds. However, the surface of 3D ice reorganized to form as many hydrogen bonds as possible. Thus, the 2D ice film was hydrophobic and inhibited the growth of 3D ice. This shows that if 2D ice can be produced on an industrial scale, it can be used as an anti-3D-icing agent under low temperatures.

Abstract
Understanding the phase behaviour of nanoconfined water films is of fundamental importance in broad fields of science and engineering. However, the phase behaviour of the thinnest water film - monolayer water - is still incompletely known. Here, we developed a machine-learning force field (MLFF) at first-principles accuracy to determine the phase diagram of monolayer water/ice in nanoconfinement with hydrophobic walls. We observed the spontaneous formation of two previously unreported high-density ices, namely, zigzag quasi-bilayer ice (ZZ-qBI) and branched-zigzag quasi-bilayer ice (bZZ-qBI). Unlike conventional bilayer ices, few inter-layer hydrogen bonds were observed in both quasi-bilayer ices. Notably, the bZZ-qBI entails a unique hydrogen-bonding network that consists of two distinctive types of hydrogen bonds. Moreover, we identified, for the first time, the stable region for the lowest-density [Formula: see text] monolayer ice (LD-48MI) at negative pressures (<-0.3 GPa). Overall, the MLFF enables large-scale first-principle-level molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of the spontaneous transition from the liquid water to a plethora of monolayer ices, including hexagonal, pentagonal, square, zigzag (ZZMI), and hexatic monolayer ices. These findings will enrich our understanding of the phase behaviour of the nanoconfined water/ices and provide a guide for future experimental realization of the 2D ices.

Abstract
Relevant to broad applied fields and natural processes, interfacial ionic hydrates have been widely studied by using ultrahigh-resolution atomic force microscopy (AFM). However, the complex relationship between the AFM signal and the investigated system makes it difficult to determine the atomic structure of such a complex system from AFM images alone. Using machine learning, we achieved precise identification of the atomic structures of interfacial water/ionic hydrates based on AFM images, including the position of each atom and the orientations of water molecules. Furthermore, it was found that structure prediction of ionic hydrates can be achieved cost-effectively by transfer learning using neural network trained with easily available interfacial water data. Thus, this work provides an efficient and economical methodology that not only opens up avenues to determine atomic structures of more complex systems from AFM images, but may also help to interpret other scientific studies involving sophisticated experimental results.

Abstract
Freezing phenomenon has troubled people for centuries, and efforts have been made to lower the liquid freezing temperature, raise the surface temperature, or mechanical deicing. Inspired by the elytra of beetle, we demonstrate a novel functional surface for directional penetration of liquid to reduce icing. The bionic functional surface is fabricated by projection microstereolithography (PµSL) based three dimensional printing technique with the wettability on its two sides tailored by TiO2 nanoparticle sizing agent. A water droplet penetrates from the hydrophobic side to the superhydrophilic side of such a bionic functional surface within 20 ms, but it is blocked in the opposite direction. Most significantly, the penetration time of a water droplet through such a bionic functional surface is much shorter than the freezing time on it, even though the temperature is as low as -90°C. This work opens a gate for the development of functional devices for liquid collection, condensation, especially for hyperantifogging/freezing.

Abstract
Ice is present everywhere on Earth and has an essential role in several areas, such as cloud physics, climate change and cryopreservation. The role of ice is determined by its formation behaviour and associated structure. However, these are not fully understood1. In particular, there is a long-standing debate about whether water can freeze to form cubic ice-a currently undescribed phase in the phase space of ordinary hexagonal ice2-6. The mainstream view inferred from a collection of laboratory data attributes this divergence to the inability to discern cubic ice from stacking-disordered ice-a mixture of cubic and hexagonal sequences7-11. Using cryogenic transmission electron microscopy combined with low-dose imaging, we show here the preferential nucleation of cubic ice at low-temperature interfaces, resulting in two types of separate crystallization of cubic ice and hexagonal ice from water vapour deposition at 102 K. Moreover, we identify a series of cubic-ice defects, including two types of stacking disorder, revealing the structure evolution dynamics supported by molecular dynamics simulations. The realization of direct, real-space imaging of ice formation and its dynamic behaviour at the molecular level provides an opportunity for ice research at the molecular level using transmission electron microscopy, which may be extended to other hydrogen-bonding crystals.

Abstract
Single-atom alloys (SAAs) exhibit excellent catalytic performance and unique electronic structures, emerging as promising catalysts for potential industrial reactions. While most of them have been widely employed under reducing conditions, few are applied in oxidation reactions. Herein, using density functional theory calculations and microkinetic simulations, we demonstrate that a well-defined one water layer can improve CO oxidation on model SAAs, with reaction rates increased by orders of magnitude. It is found that the formation of hydrogen bonds and the transfer of charges effectively enhance the adsorption and activation of oxygen molecules at the H2O/SAA interfaces, which not only increases the surface coverage of O2 species but also reduces the energy barrier of CO oxidation. The proposed strategy in this work would extend the application range of SAA catalysts to oxidation reactions.

Abstract
Water exhibits rich phase behaviors in nanoscale confinement. Since the simulation evidence of the formation of single-walled ice nanotubes (INTs) in single-walled carbon nanotubes was confirmed experimentally, INTs have been recognized as a form of low-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network. However, the single-walled INTs reported in the literature all possess subnanometer diameters (<1 nm). Herein, based on systematic and large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the spontaneous freezing transition of liquid water to single-walled INTs with diameters reaching ∼10 nm when confined to capillaries of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DW-CNTs). Three distinct classes of INTs are observed, namely, INTs with flat square walls (INTs-FSW), INTs with puckered rhombic walls (INTs-PRW), and INTs with bilayer hexagonal walls (INTs-BHW). Surprisingly, when water is confined in DW-CNT (3, 3)@(13, 13), an INT-FSW freezing temperature of 380 K can be reached, which is even higher than the boiling temperature of bulk water at atmospheric pressure. The freezing temperatures of INTs-FSW decrease as their caliber increases, approaching to the freezing temperature of two-dimensional flat square ice at the large-diameter limit. In contrast, the freezing temperature of INTs-PRW is insensitive to their diameter. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations are performed to examine the stability of the INT-FSW and INT-PRW. The highly stable INTs with diameters beyond subnanometer scale can be exploited for potential applications in nanofluidic technologies and for mass transport as bioinspired nanochannels.

Abstract
The interaction between submonolayers of methanol and water on Cu(111) is studied at 95-160 K temperature range with surface-sensitive infrared spectroscopy using isotopically labeled molecules. The initial interaction of methanol with the preadsorbed amorphous solid water at 95 K is through hydrogen-bonding with the dangling hydroxyl groups of water. Upon increasing the temperature up to 140 K, methanol and deuterated water form H-bonded structures which allow hydrogen-deuterium exchange between the hydroxyl group of methanol and the deuterated water. The evolution of the O-D and O-H stretching bands indicate that the hydrogen transfer is dominant at around 120-130 K, slightly below the desorption temperature of methanol. Above 140 K, methanol desorbs and a mixture of hydrogen-related water isotopologues remains on the surface. The isotopic composition of this mixture versus the initial D2O:CH3OH ratio supports a potential exchange mechanism via hydrogen hopping between alternating methanol and water molecules in a hydrogen-bonded network.

Abstract
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), typical two-dimensional semiconductors, have been extensively studied for their extraordinary physical properties and utilized for nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. However, the finite samples and discontinuity in the synthesis process of TMD materials definitely induce defect edges in nanoribbons and greatly influence the device performance. Here, we systematically studied the atomic structures, energetic and mechanical stability, and electronic and catalytic properties of MoSe2 nanoribbons on the basis of experiments. Clear benefits of ZZSe-Mo-NW30 edged nanoribbons were found to evidently increase the dynamic stability according to our first-principles calculations. Meanwhile, unsaturated Mo atoms at the edge sites induced local magnetic moments up to 0.54 μB and changed the chemical environments of adjacent Se atoms, which acted as active sites for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with a lower onset potential of -0.04 eV. The external tensile strain on these nanoribbons can have negligible effects on the electronic and catalytic properties. The onset potential of the ZZSe-Mo-NW30 edged nanoribbons only changed 0.03 eV under critical tensile strain. The atomic-scale research of edge reconstructions in TMD materials provides new opportunities to modulate the synthesis mechanism for experiments and defect-engineering applications in electrochemical catalysts.

Abstract
The history of scientific research on diverse ice structures dates back to more than a century. To date, 20 three-dimensional crystalline ice phases (ice I-ice XX) have been identified in the laboratory, among which ice XVI and ice XVII belong to a class of low-density nanoporous ices. Nanoporous ices can also be viewed as a special class of porous materials or water ice, as they possess a relatively high fraction of nano-cavities and/or nano-channels built into the hydrogen-bonded water framework. As such, like the prototypical class of porous materials (e.g., MOFs and COFs), nanoporous ices can be named as water oxygen-vertex frameworks (WOFs). Because of their large surface-to-volume ratio, WOFs may be potential media for gas storage, gas purification and separation. They may be applied to the biomedical field owing to their excellent biocompatibility. The field of porous ices is still emerging, as many porous ice structures that are predicted to be stable by computer simulations require future experimental confirmation. For future theoretical/computational studies, as the machine-learning method becomes an increasingly popular research tool in the material science and chemical science fields, more reliable porous ice structures and phase diagrams will be predicted with the development of more accurate machine-learning force fields.

Abstract
The growth of crystals confined in porous or cellular materials is ubiquitous in Nature and forms the basis of many industrial processes. Confinement affects the formation of biominerals in living organisms, of minerals in the Earth's crust and of salt crystals damaging porous limestone monuments, and is also used to control the growth of artificial crystals. However, the mechanisms by which confinement alters crystal shapes and growth rates are still not elucidated. Based on novel in situ optical observations of (001) surfaces of NaClO3 and CaCO3 crystals at nanometric distances from a glass substrate, we demonstrate that new molecular layers can nucleate homogeneously and propagate without interruption even when in contact with other solids, raising the macroscopic crystal above them. Confined growth is governed by the peculiar dynamics of these molecular layers controlled by the two-dimensional transport of mass through the liquid film from the edges to the center of the contact, with distinctive features such as skewed dislocation spirals, kinetic localization of nucleation in the vicinity of the contact edge, and directed instabilities. Confined growth morphologies can be predicted from the values of three main dimensionless parameters.

Abstract
Formation of mineral scale on a material surface has profound impact on a wide range of natural processes as well as industrial applications. However, how specific material surface characteristics affect the mineral-surface interactions and subsequent mineral scale formation is not well understood. Here we report the superior resistance of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) to mineral scale formation compared to not only common metal and polymer surfaces but also the highly scaling-resistant graphene, making hBN possibly the most scaling resistant material reported to date. Experimental and simulation results reveal that this ultrahigh scaling-resistance is attributed to the combination of hBN’s atomically-smooth surface, in-plane atomic energy corrugation due to the polar boron-nitrogen bond, and the close match between its interatomic spacing and the size of water molecules. The latter two properties lead to strong polar interactions with water and hence the formation of a dense hydration layer, which strongly hinders the approach of mineral ions and crystals, decreasing both surface heterogeneous nucleation and crystal attachment. Scale formation may have detrimental effects on the properties and functions of materials’ surfaces. Here the authors report the high scaling resistance of hexagonal boron nitride and relate it to the atomic level structure and interaction with water molecules.

Abstract
Methane hydrate (MH) has been viewed as a potential abundant clean energy resource worldwide. Its related technologies play important roles in applications of gas and energy storage, flow assurance of natural gas pipelines etc. Unlike the well-researched stability and decomposition of MH at temperatures above 273 K, the metastability of MH below the ice freezing point, i.e. the anomalous slow decomposition out of thermodynamically stable regions, remains to be unravelled. Studies regarding the influences of ice and supercooled water (SW) on the metastable properties of MH led to varied conclusions, i.e. the as-proposed self-preservation effect and metastable MH-SW-gas equilibrium. In this study, a series of DSC experiments were performed to investigate the thermal stability boundaries and the associated metastable behaviours of MH-ice-gas and MH-SW-gas samples in porous medium. The DSC analysis probed accurate thermal stabilities and characterized decomposition behaviors of the samples, contributing to the hypothesis of potential influences from SW and ice on the metastability of MH. MD simulations were also validated and performed. Active guest-host interactions by the SW layers between MH and gas phases were identified, suggesting probable microscopic configurations related to the metastability of the MH-SW-gas system. Indications of the DSC and MD simulation results call for future high-resolution in situ experimental validations.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) bilayer hexagonal ice (BHI) is regarded as the first intrinsic 2D ice crystal. However, the robustness of such a structure or its derivatives against surface symmetry and corrugation is still unclear. Here, we report the formation of 2D BHI on gold surfaces with 1D corrugation, using noncontact atomic force microscopy. The hexagonal arrangement of the first wetting layer was visualized on the Au(110)-1×2 surface. Upon depositing more water molecules, the first layer would rearrange and shrink, resulting in the formation of buckled BHI. Such a buckled BHI is hydrophobic despite the appearance of dangling OH, due to the strong interlayer bonding. Furthermore, the BHI is also stable on the Au(100)-5×28 surface. This work reveals the unexpected generality of the BHI on corrugated surfaces with nonhexagonal symmetry, thus shedding new light on the microscopic understandings of the low-dimensional ice formation on solid surfaces or under confinement.

Abstract
Understanding the structure and wettability of monolayer water is essential for revealing the mechanisms of nucleation, growth, and chemical reactivity at interfaces. We have investigated the wetting layer formation of water (ice) on the graphite (0001) surface using a combination of low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). At around monolayer coverages, the LEED pattern showed a (2×2) periodicity, and the STM revealed a hydrogen-bonded hexagonal network. The lattice constant was about 9% larger than that for ice Ih/Ic crystals, and the packing density was 0.096 Å-2. These results indicate that an extended ice network is formed on graphite, different from that on metal surfaces. Graphite is hydrophobic under ambient conditions due to the airborne contaminant but is considered inherently hydrophilic for a clean surface. In this study, the hydrophilic nature of the clean surface has been investigated from a molecular viewpoint. The formation of a well-ordered commensurate monolayer supports that the interaction of water with graphite is not negligible so that a commensurate wetting layer is formed at the weak substrate-molecule interaction limit.

Abstract
The nature of hydrated proton on solid surfaces is of vital importance in electrochemistry, proton channels, and hydrogen fuel cells but remains unclear because of the lack of atomic-scale characterization. We directly visualized Eigen- and Zundel-type hydrated protons within the hydrogen bonding water network on Au(111) and Pt(111) surfaces, using cryogenic qPlus-based atomic force microscopy under ultrahigh vacuum. We found that the Eigen cations self-assembled into monolayer structures with local order, and the Zundel cations formed long-range ordered structures stabilized by nuclear quantum effects. Two Eigen cations could combine into one Zundel cation accompanied with a simultaneous proton transfer to the surface. Moreover, we revealed that the Zundel configuration was preferred over the Eigen on Pt(111), and such a preference was absent on Au(111).

Abstract
The hydrogen-disordered structure of ice III makes it difficult to analyze its vibrational spectrum theoretically. To clarify the contribution of hydrogen bonds (HBs), we constructed a 24-molecule supercell to mimic the real structure and performed first-principles density functional theory calculations. The calculated curve of phonon density of states showed good correspondence with the experimental data. Based on the theory of two kinds of HB vibrational modes, we analyzed the distributions of two-bond modes and four-bond modes. The energy splitting of these modes results in a flat vibrational band, which is a common phenomenon in high-pressure ice phases. These findings verified the general rule that there are two types of HB vibrations in ice, thereby furthering our understanding of HB interactions in water ice and their broad role in nature.

Abstract
ConspectusWater-solid interfaces have attracted extensive attention because of their crucial roles in a wide range of chemical and physical processes, such as ice nucleation and growth, dissolution, corrosion, heterogeneous catalysis, and electrochemistry. To understand these processes, enormous efforts have been made to obtain a molecular-level understanding of the structure and dynamics of water on various solid surfaces. By the use of scanning probe microscopy (SPM), many remarkable structures of H-bonding networks have been directly visualized, significantly advancing our understanding of the delicate competition between water-water and water-solid interactions. Moreover, the detailed dynamics of water molecules, such as diffusion, clustering, dissociation, and intermolecular and intramolecular proton transfer, have been investigated in a well-controlled manner by tip manipulation. However, resolving the submolecular structure of surface water has remained a great challenge for a long time because of the small size and light mass of protons. Discerning the position of hydrogen in water is not only crucial for the accurate determination of the structure of H-bonding networks but also indispensable in probing the proton transfer dynamics and the quantum nature of protons.In this Account, we focus on the recent advances in the H-sensitive SPM technique and its applications in probing the structures, dynamics, and nuclear quantum effects (NQEs) of surface water and ion hydrates at the submolecular level. First, we introduce the development of high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) and qPlus-based atomic force microscopy (qPlus-AFM), which allow access to the degrees of freedom of protons in both real and energy space. qPlus-AFM even allows imaging of interfacial water in a weakly perturbative manner by measuring the high-order electrostatic force between the CO-terminated tip and the polar water molecule, which enables the subtle difference of OH directionality to be discerned. Next we showcase the applications of H-sensitive STM/AFM in addressing several key issues related to water-solid interfaces. The surface wetting behavior and the H-bonding structure of low-dimensional ice on various hydrophilic and hydrophobic solid surfaces are characterized at the atomic scale. Then we discuss the quantitative assessment of NQEs of surface water, including proton tunneling and quantum delocalization. Moreover, the weakly perturbative and H-sensitive SPM technique can be also extended to investigations of water-ion interactions on solid surfaces, revealing the effect of hydration structure on the interfacial ion transport. Finally, we provide an outlook on the further directions and challenges for SPM studies of water-solid interfaces.
