Water/solid interfaces are relevant to a broad range of physicochemical phenomena and technological processes such as corrosion, lubrication, heterogeneous catalysis and electrochemistry. Although many fields have contributed to rapid progress in the fundamental knowledge of water at interfaces, detailed molecular-level understanding of water/solid interfaces comes mainly from studies on flat metal substrates. These studies have recently shown that a remarkably rich variety of structures form at the interface between water and even seemingly simple flat surfaces. In this Review we discuss the most exciting work in this area, in particular the emerging physical insight and general concepts about how water binds to metal surfaces. We also provide a perspective on outstanding problems, challenges and open questions.
水/固界面与广泛的物理化学现象和技术过程相关，例如腐蚀、润滑、多相催化和电化学。尽管许多领域为界面水的基础知识的快速发展做出了贡献，但对水/固界面的详细分子水平的理解主要来自于对平坦金属基底的研究。这些研究最近表明，即使在看似简单的平坦表面之间，也会形成种类繁多的结构。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了该领域最令人兴奋的工作，特别是关于水与金属表面结合的新出现的物理见解和一般概念。我们还提供了对悬而未决的问题、挑战和未解决的问题的看法。
