A new study provides fresh insight into traditional acid-base chemistry by revealing that the mutual neutralization of isolated hydronium (H 3 O⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions is driven by electron ...
Before annealing, an interfacial water layer acts as a dielectric barrier, allowing excess electrons to remain and promoting nonradiative pathways such as trion (X⁻) formation. After annealing, the ...
