Specific ion effects (SIE), encompassing the Hofmeister Series, have been known for more
than 130 years since Hofmeister and Lewith's foundational work. SIEs are ubiquitous and …

Halophilic proteins are stable and function at high salt concentration. Understanding how
these molecules maintain their fold stable and avoid aggregation under harsh conditions is …

Natural surfaces are often structured with nanometre-scale domains, yet a framework
providing a quantitative understanding of how nanostructure affects interfacial energy, γ SL …

We report herein, Soybean oil was shaped to biodiesel using CaO as heterogeneous
catalyst and acetone as cosolvent by employing transesterification reaction at room …

Carbon and hydrogen residence time in the Earth's interior is controlled by complex phase
equilibria attained in the subduction zone environment. Carbonic fluid/melts are highly …

A theoretical rationalization of the occurrence of cold denaturation for globular proteins was
devised, assuming that the effective size of water molecules depends upon temperature [G …

The adsorption characteristics of methane in shales play a critical role in the assessment of
shale gas resources. The microscopic adsorption mechanism of methane considering the …

The solubility of methane in water decreases when a small amount of salt is present. This is
usually denoted as the salting out effect (ie, the methane is expelled from the solution when …

Injection of carbon dioxide (CO 2) into coal seam gas reservoirs has been considered one of
the most popular approaches to enhance methane (CH 4) production. However, many …

The roles of cations and anions are different in the perturbation on solvation, and thus, the
analyses of the separated contributions from cations and anions are useful to establish …
