Crystallization of thin water films on graphite: Effects of n-hexane, formaldehyde, acetone, and methanol additives

- Water crystallization kinetics on graphite depends on the interfacial structure.
- Methanol adspecies also influences water crystallization as a surfactant.
- Hydrophobic hydration occurs for formaldehyde in water.
- Acetone undergoes both hydrophilic and hydrophobic hydration in water.
