Acid-base dissociation mechanisms and energetics at the silica-water interface: an activationless process
Hypothesis: Silanol groups at the silica-water interface determine not only the surface charge, but also have an important role in the binding of ions and biomolecules. As the pH is increased above pH 2, the silica surface develops a net negative charge primarily due to deprotonation of the silanol...
