Electrostatic interactions are a key driving force that mediates colloidal assembly. The Schulze-Hardy rule states that nanoparticles have a higher tendency to coagulate in the presence of counterions with high charge valence. However, it is unclear how the Schulze-Hardy rule works when the simple e...
