Figure 3. (a) Electric field dependence of the average number of hydrogen bonds of water molecules in interface-region. (b) Schematic diagrams of (I) a bending carbon chain with an angle α, (II) spatial orientation of a water molecule and the electric field, a water molecule on the surface of carbon chain (III) without electric field and (IV) with an electric field.
