► NaOL increases the adsorption of DAA attributed to its coadsorption. ► The incorporation of NaOL, DAA decreases the electrostatic head–head repulsion. ► MD simulations show that the coadsorption is attributable to synergies. ► The conclusions drawn from MD simulations coincide with experiments res...
