Key Points

The central aim is to reconcile the stability of nanobubbles with classical thermodynamics.
Review of existing literature on nanobubbles and thermodynamic principles
Discussion on internal pressure and its effect on stability
Analysis of surface tension interactions
Stable nanobubbles defy classical thermodynamic predictions about lifetime
Internal pressure is a crucial factor in determining nanobubble stability
Implications for theories of dissolution in liquids

Implication

This review demonstrates how internal pressure affects surface tension in stable nanobubbles, suggesting new thermodynamic models.

Abstract

Bulk nanobubbles exhibit exceptionally long lifetimes in solution, fundamentally contradicting classical thermodynamic predictions, which suggest rapid dissolution due to immense internal pressure. In this review we first discusses the theoretical...
