With the ever increasing demand for energy to meet the needs of growth in population and
improvement in the living standards in particular in developing countries, the abundant …

The introduction of the water‐in‐salt (WIS) electrolytes concept to prevent water splitting and
widen the electrochemical stability window, has spurred extensive research efforts toward …

We review the present understanding of the behavior of ions at the air–water and oil–water
interfaces. We argue that while the alkali metal cations remain strongly hydrated and are …

We have investigated the interactions between the positively charged poly [2-
(methacryloyloxy) ethyltrimethylammonium chloride](PMETAC) brushes and the Hofmeister …

Magnetic separation is a promising alternative to conventional methods in downstream
processing. This can facilitate easier handling, fewer processing steps, and more …

In recent years, the world has faced the issue of antibiotic resistance. Methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant problem in various treatments and control of …

Amphiphilic surfactants are changing the surface tension of solutions by adsorbing at their
surfaces. In general, however, little is known about the actual distribution of the surface …

Hypothesis Improved oil recovery by low-salinity injection correlates to the optimal brine
concentration to achieve maximum dewetting of oil droplets on rock surfaces. While …

Anions generally associate more favorably with the air–water interface than cations. In
addition to solute size and polarizability, the intrinsic structure of the unperturbed interface …

In this study, we calculate free-energy profiles for the dissociation of the strong acids XH
(HBr, HCl, and HNO3), specifically, for the deprotonation and subsequent formation of ion …
