Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study the mechanisms of droplet electrocoalescence and their importance in understanding the microscopic motion of matter and validating existing theories. This review summarizes recent advancements in the use of molecular dynamics simulations to study droplet electrocoalescence and its influencing factors. The limitations of current research and future directions for further development are discussed. The importance of studying the interactions between different components under the influence of electric fields is highlighted. Suggestions for future investigations are proposed based on the current research status.
