Recent developments in X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM microscopy have revealed what …

Electrocatalysis is central to the production of renewable fuels and high-value commodity
chemicals. The electrolyte and the electrode together determine the catalytic properties of …

Electrolyte cations affect the activity of surface-mediated electrocatalytic reactions; however,
understanding the modes of interaction between cations and reaction intermediates remains …

Some physicochemical aspects of water-soluble mineral flotation including hydration
phenomena, associations and interactions between collectors, air bubbles, and water …

Thermal energy is abundantly available, and especially low-grade heat is often wasted in
industrial processes as a by-product. Tapping into this vast energy reservoir with cost …

A combination of theory, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure
(EXAFS) are used to probe the hydration structure of aqueous Na+. The high spatial …

Most classical nonpolarizable ion potential models underestimate the solubility values of
NaCl and KCl in water significantly. We determine Lennard-Jones parameters of Na+, K+ …

The currently emerging sodium-ion battery technology is in need of an optimized standard
organic solvent electrolyte based on solid and directly comparable data. With this aim we …

Functionalized nanoporous graphene has shown great promise as emerging membrane.
Herein, we computationally demonstrate the separation performance using pyridinic-like …
