We observed a linear increase of W sl with ε F e-C and ε F e-H . Since W sl ∝ (1 + cos θ), this result was in agreement with the scaling relationship, ε ∼ (1 + cos θ), proposed by Sendner et al. 107 from molecular dynamics simulations of the water/diamond interface. This relationship has been further verified in molecular dynamics simulations of water/silicon interfaces. The ITR is plotted as a function of W sl in Figure . We observed that R k ∼ 1/W sl and therefore G k ∼ W sl , as shown in Figure in the Supplementary Information. This relationship has been established in a number of previous experimental and NEMD simulation studies. We found that W sl was overestimated for all of the solid-liquid potentials compared to the value determined from contact angle expriments by Kalin and Polajnar (57.5 mJ m -2 ). 105 Furthermore, contact angle simulations performed using these potentials found that θ was underestimated in all cases, as shown in the Supplementary Information. These results indicate that all of the solid-liquid potentials overestimate the interaction strength determined experimentally.
