The electroreduction of nitrogen to ammonia offers a promising alternative to the energy-
intensive Haber–Bosch process. Unfortunately, the reaction suffers from low activity and …

The structure of water and the nature of ionic hydration is explored in aqueous solutions of
potassium fluoride, chloride, bromide and iodide over a range of concentrations up to 4.8 ion …

There is anecdotal evidence for the significant effects of salt ions on the flotation separation
of minerals using process water of high salt content. Examples include flotation of soluble …

Gas− liquid interfacial structures of NaCl and NaI aqueous solutions are investigated via
molecular dynamics simulations using a flexible and polarizable water model we have …

We utilized X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray Raman scattering (XRS) in order
to study the ion solvation effect on the bulk hydrogen bonding structure of water. The fine …

Abstract Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) layer-stacked membranes have gained
considerable attention due to their chemical stability and water permeability in desalination …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hold great promise for the design of novel desalination devices.
However, the performance of pristine CNTs is very limited because of the trade-off between …

Water, considered as a universal solvent to dissolve salts, has been extensively studied as
liquid electrolyte in electrochemical devices. The water/ice phase transition at around 0° C …

The physicochemical properties of alkali halide solutions have long been attributed to the
collective interactions between ions and water molecules in the solution, yet the structure of …

Desalination holds a great promise for dealing with the global water shortage. Water
treatment by nanofiltration technology has been received extensive attention in recent years …
