Optimum performance of upcoming thermochemical energy storage and other technologies depends on proper applications of the principles that underpin salt ion hydration. Now, researchers from Japan have ...
When metal cations dissolve in water, they become encased in layers of solvent molecules whose rapid rearrangements and exchanges define the hydration dynamics. The structure and mobility of the first ...
The presence of ions affects the structure and dynamics of water on a multitude of length and time scales. New results from ultrafast spectroscopy and theoretical analyses show that the water ...
