Abstract

This chapter provides an introduction to electrosprays (ES). Electrosprays, also known as Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) sprays, are sprays created from the atomization of a bulk liquid due to electrostatic charging. The fundamental physics involved in such sprays is first introduced followed by results of experimental and theoretical characterization. Practical applications are briefly discussed with special attention paid to the use of electrospray in mass spectrometry where it is used as an ion source.
