A Synergistic Experimental and Computational Approach to the Design of MIPs Targeting Metronidazole

Abstract Metronidazole (MTZ) is a widely used nitroimidazole antibiotic, and its persistence has raised growing concerns as an emerging environmental contaminant. This study focuses on the design of an electrochemical sensor based on Molecularly Imprinted Polymers (MIPs) for its...

Interfacial Electric Fields in Water Nanodroplets Are Weakly Dependent on Curvature and pH

Abstract The origin of enhanced reactivity in aqueous microdroplets remains unresolved, with interfacial electric fields (IEFs) frequently proposed as catalytic drivers. Here, we present a quantum-mechanical, spatially resolved characterization of the electric field at air-water...
