At this time, it's still unclear how water microdroplets can serve as adequate replacements for reducing agents. One possibility is that transforming the water into microdroplets greatly increases its surface area, creating the opportunity for a strong electric field to form at the air-water interface, which may promote the formation of gold nanoparticles and nanowires.
