The electrolyte is the heart of any fuel cell. Ideally, this component effectively separates the
anode and cathode gases and/or liquids and mediates the electrochemical reaction …

Because of its unique properties, water drives many natural and biological processes. While
a detailed understanding of its precise role is still being unravelled, it is clear that the …

Water molecules confined in a supramolecular assembly control reactivity and dynamics of
biological systems in a unique way. In a confined system, water molecules display an …

The dielectric constant of water confined in a nanodimensional spherical cavity is calculated
by means of molecular dynamics simulations. The simulations are carried out by using two …

The mobility of water in water/Aerosol OT (AOT)/isooctane reverse micelles has been
investigated via polar solvation dynamics measurements using ultrafast, time-resolved …

The solvation dynamics of water in lecithin/cyclohexane reverse micelles have been
determined via ultrafast time-resolved fluorescence studies. At hydration levels w 0≤ 4.8 …

The picosecond time-resolved Stokes shift of the laser dye, coumarin 480 (I) is studied in
neutral (Triton X-100, TX), cationic (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB), and anionic …

We have measured the dynamics of water solvation in two different reverse micellar
environments with low water content, w 0= 1.7. In the water/Aerosol OT (AOT)/isooctane …

We present calculations of various properties of the ground and excited electronic states of
coumarins 102, 152, 153, and 343. Using density functional theory (DFT) and time …

Recently techniques of solvation dynamics have been applied to reverse micelles,
microemulsions and vesicular systems. The dynamical data obtained provides a …
