ABSTRACT
Minerals and organic matter are essential components of soil, with minerals acting as the "bone" and organic matter as the "skin". The interfacial interactions between minerals and organic matter result in changes in their chemical composition, structure, functional groups, and physical properties, possessing a significant impact on soil properties, functions, and biogeochemical cycles. Understanding the interfacial interactions of minerals and organic matter is imperative to advance soil remediation technologies and carbon targets. Consequently, there is a growing interest in the physicochemical identification of the interfacial interactions between minerals and organic matter in the academic community. This review provides an overview of the mechanisms underlying these interactions, including adsorption, co-precipitation, occlusion, redox, catalysis and dissolution. Moreover, it surveys various methods and techniques employed to characterize the mineral-organic matter interactions. Specifically, the up-to-date spectroscopic techniques for chemical information and advanced microscopy techniques for physical information are highlighted. The advantages and limitations of each method are also discussed. Finally, we outline future research directions for interfacial interactions and suggests areas for improvement and development of characterization techniques to better understand the mechanisms of mineral-organic matter interactions.
