Scientists from the Fritz Haber Institute, Sorbonne University, and Uppsala University have made a groundbreaking discovery that can help to improve our understanding of the behavior of ions in ...

The ordering of ions and solvent molecules around nanostructures is of profound fundamental importance, from understanding biological processes to the manipulation of nanomaterials to optimizing ...

Many natural and industrial processes involve ion (de)solvation. Examples include ion-induced liquid-liquid phase separation of protein solutions 1,2, ion binding to RNA and proteins 3,4,5,6,7, CO 2 ...

The ion’s pathway is strongly influenced by a process that is ubiquitous across bio- and electrochemistry: ions need to reorganize their solvation shell before they can intercalate into battery ...

Cation exchange (CE) is known to be a powerful tool for the synthesis of heterogeneous nanocrystals and is currently divided into two main routes: ion solvation-driven CE reactions and thermally ...
