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 …

The ubiquity of aqueous solutions in contact with charged surfaces and the realization that
the molecular-level details of water–surface interactions often determine interfacial functions …

Ion exchange membranes (IEMs) have been established as a key component in industrial
water desalination and electrolysis processes. Thus, nowadays, they are being studied and …

Ions differ in their ability to salt out proteins from solution as expressed in the lyotropic or
Hofmeister series of cations and anions. Since its first formulation in 1888, this series has …

Following up on scattered reports on interactions of conventional chaotropic ions (for
example, I−, SCN−, ClO4−) with macrocyclic host molecules, biomolecules, and …

In the past decade, the applications of capacitive deionization have expanded to encompass
resource recovery and targeted ion separation in complex solutions, besides water …

Specific effects of electrolytes have posed a challenge since the 1880's. The pioneering
work was that of Franz Hofmeister who studied specific salt induced protein precipitation …

J‐aggregates are of significant interest for organic materials conceived by supramolecular
approaches. Their discovery in the 1930s represents one of the most important milestones in …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as a new type of promising ionic solvents with
a broad range of potential applications. Although their ecotoxicological profile is still poorly …

Research efforts related to the Hofmeister series of salt ions have waxed and waned during
its long and storied history. The past few decades have, however, witnessed a renaissance …
