Book cover Fundamentals of Mass Spectrometry

Abstract

The electrospray (ES) process is the action of liquid dispersion into a fine aerosol, a phenomenon that takes place when a strong electric field is exerted on the liquid. The electrical atomization of liquids was first observed by George Bose in 1745 [1,2]. Rayleigh determined an instability criterion for charged liquid droplets in 1882 [3]. In 1917, Zeleny established a criterion for the instability of an electrified liquid at the end of a capillary tube [4].
