Here, we report a new water layer structure at room temperature, which is found inside nanobubbles by using synchrotron based scanning transmission soft X-ray microscopy(STXM). The three peaks 535.0, 536.8 and 540.9 e V at O K edge inside the nanobubbles show a novel characteristics of very thin water layers, which has never been observed before.展开更多
