Mechanistic investigation of electrostatic field-enhanced water evaporation by Fei, Jipeng, Ding, Bin, Koh, See Wee, Ge, Junyu, Wang, Xingli, Lee, Liquan, Sun, Zixu, Yao, Mengqi, Chen, Yonghao, Gao, Huajian, Li, Hong

“…Herein, an EEF is proved to tune water state by accelerating the thermal movement of water molecules, lowering the molecular escaping energy, and loosening the hydrogen bond structure. The detailed mechanisms and field interactions (heat and electrostatic) are investigated by in situ Raman characterizations and molecular dynamic simulations, which reveal that an EEF can effectively reduce the free energy barrier of water evaporation and then increase the evaporated water molecule flux. …”
