Infrared spectroscopy and contact-angle measurements revealed that NaCl salting has the same effect as heating on O:H phonon softening and H–O phonon stiffening, but has the opposite effect on skin polarization of liquid water. The mechanics of thermal modulation of O–O Coulomb repulsion [Sun, et al...
