Chemists have found that the all-cis isomer of hexafluorocyclohexane, a molecule that made headlines last year for being the most polar aliphatic compound known, is capable of binding both cations and ...

Metal-ion hybrid capacitors combine the properties of capacitors and batteries. One electrode uses the capacitive mechanism, the other the battery-type redox processes. Scientists have now scrutinized ...

Dual-ion batteries (DIBs), in which both cations and anions are involved in the electrochemical redox reaction, are one of the most promising candidates to meet the low-cost requirements of commercial ...

Recently, the National Science Review published the research outcome from Prof. Jun Cheng (Xiamen University) and Dr. Jia-Bo Le (Ningbo Institute of Materials Technology and Engineering of Chinese ...

A research team led by Northwestern engineers and Argonne National Laboratory researchers have uncovered new findings into the role of ionic interaction within graphene and water. The insights could ...

Charged particles in aqueous solutions are always surrounded by a shell of water molecules. However, much is still unknown about the nature of this so-called hydration shell. Using terahertz ...

For the past 5 years, chemical engineer Ankur Gupta of the University of Colorado Boulder has wondered what rules govern the diffusion of ions through the winding nanoscale tunnels within a ...

Ion exchange separates components in a sample depending on their relative ionic strengths and interaction with the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a charged substance that selectively ...

Researchers at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering (UChicago PME) and the Tandon School of Engineering at New York University have made significant progress in ...
