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 ...

Researchers analyzed the effects of solvation and ion valency on metallopolymers, with implications for critical materials recovery and recycling, and environmental remediation. In a new paper ...

These cages, called "solvation cages," comprise molecules that together act as a solvent surrounding each lithium ion - much like how water molecules surround each positively charged sodium ion in the ...

“Neutron” the cat is spying on his monovalent perrhenate mice which are stuck behind the positively charged couch. Through neutron reflectometry and ab initio molecular dynamics, insights are provided ...
