Inorganic and organic “solvent-in-salt”(SIS) systems have been known for decades but have
attracted significant attention only recently. Molten salt hydrates/solvates have been …

Aqueous Li-ion batteries have long been envisioned as safe and green energy storage
technology, but have never been commercially realized owing to the limited electrochemical …

The pharmaceutical industry relies extensively on solvents for various purposes, including
synthesis, crystallization, purification, solubilization, and developing drug delivery systems …

In highly concentrated salt solutions, the water hydrogen bond (H-bond) network is
completely disrupted by the presence of ions. Water is forced to restructure as dictated by …

Aqueous electrolytes are facing substantial barriers for their all-around use in
electrochemical energy storage applications due to their limited operating voltage window …

Superconcentrated electrolytes have emerged as a promising class of materials for energy
storage devices, with evidence that high voltage performance is possible even with water as …

Water and ion dynamics in concentrated LiCl solutions were studied using ultrafast 2D IR
spectroscopy with the methyl thiocyanate (MeSCN) CN stretch as the vibrational probe. The …

The structural dynamics of highly concentrated LiCl and LiBr aqueous solutions were
observed from 1–4 to 1–16 water molecules per ion pair using ultrafast polarization …

Water-in-salt and water-in-bisalt electrolytes have recently attracted much attention due to
their expanded electrochemical stability windows. The concentration limit of such …

Till now, there has been ambiguity about the structural heterogeneity inside a solute
solvation shell and the dynamical response of the surrounding solvent molecules. To …
