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 …

Specific ion effects in aqueous polymer solutions have been under active investigation over
the past few decades. The current state-of-the-art research is primarily focused on the …

The importance of electrolyte solutions cannot be overstated. Beyond the ionic strength of
electrolyte solutions the specific nature of the ions present is vital in controlling a host of …

While the traditional consensus dictates that high ion concentrations lead to negligible long-
range electrostatic interactions, we demonstrate that electrostatic correlations prevail in …

A deep eutectic solvent (DES) is a low-melting liquid composed of a hydrogen bond
acceptor (HBA) and hydrogen bond donor (HBD). It is prepared from readily available and …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been used in solvents for proteins in many applications, including
biotechnology, pharmaceutics, and medicine due to their tunable physicochemical and …

Control of size, charge, morphological characteristics, stability and functional activity of
practically important compounds is of particular interest. Two classes of amphiphiles …

We discuss the current state of research as well as the future challenges for a deeper
understanding of specific ion effects in protic and aprotic solvents as well as various …

The properties of all electrolyte solutions, whether the solvent is aqueous or nonaqueous,
are strongly dependent on the nature of the ions in solution. The consequences of these …

The importance of ion-solvent interactions in predicting specific ion effects in contexts
ranging from viral activity through to electrolyte viscosity cannot be underestimated …
