The effects of electric field strength, field type, droplet position, and ion concentration on coalescence were systematically analyzed. The results indicate that, under a direct current (DC) electric field, the condition of <i>E</i> = 0.03 V/Å is the most optimal for droplet coalescence among all tested DC field conditions. Under a rectangular alternating current (AC) electric field, the condition of <i>E</i> = 0.045 V/Å–80 ps yielded the best coalescence performance. Compared to the DC field, the rectangular AC field facilitates coalescence between droplets positioned at greater distances.
