Abstract
Dissolution of a gas in a liquid medium and/or reaction of a gas with one or more components within a liquid medium using a variety of articles, systems, and methods is generally described.
Claims23
A system, comprising:
- a liquid medium;
- a source of gas within and/or in fluidic communication with the liquid medium;
- and
- a nanoengineered surface in contact with the liquid medium,
- wherein the system is configured such that injected gas from the source of gas spreads on the nanoengineered surface such that the spread gas dissolves in the liquid medium and/or reacts with one or more components of the liquid medium.

A system, comprising:
- a liquid medium;
- a source of bubbles within and/or in fluidic communication with the liquid medium;
- and
- a nanoengineered surface in contact with the liquid medium,
- wherein the system is configured such that bubbles from the source of bubbles are captured by and spread on the nanoengineered surface such that the spread bubbles dissolve in the liquid medium and/or react with one or more components of the liquid medium.

A method, comprising:
- contacting a nanoengineered surface with a liquid medium;
- and
- injecting a gas at or near the nanoengineered surface,
- wherein the injected gas spreads on the nanoengineered surface, and
- wherein the spread gas dissolves in the liquid medium and/or reacts with one or more components within the liquid medium.
