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 ...

The electrolyte is a critical component of rechargeable batteries, serving as the medium through which charge-carrying species, such as lithium ions, travel between electrodes. Liquid electrolytes are ...

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 ...

At Ruhr University, the groups of Professor Martina Havenith and Professor Sebastian Kruss collaborated for a new study, which took place as part of the Cluster of Excellence "Ruhr Explores Solvation, ...

Terahertz (THz) calorimetry is a framework that allows for the deduction and quantification of changes in solvation entropy and enthalpy associated with biological processes in real-time. Fundamental ...

Much of the behavior of important molecular species is only known in a condensed phase environment (mostly solutions). Probing the details of molecular properties and molecular interactions in these ...
