Profiles of N, Fe, Mn and S compounds - concentrations and isotopes in the wa...
We investigated the water column of the meromictic Lake Lugano North Basin, Switzerland, during 12 sampling campaigns between 2015 and 2018. At the deepest point of the lake, we... -
Meso- and micro-structure of protic ionic liquid / methanol mixtures
Protic ionic liquids (PILs) are an interesting sub-class of room temperature ionic liquids. They differ from conventional, a protic ionic liquids, because of the major role... -
Towards Understanding Lignin Solubility in Protic Ionic Liquids
A current key road block to the economic viability of a biorefinery is the inability to cost effectively separate biomass into lignin and cellulose. It has recently been... -
Probing Ion Binding to Micelles ¿ Investigating the Hofmeister Series
This proposal continues our research on ion binding to surfactant micelles. Our recent work demonstrates that the details of water structure around micelles are now accessible... -
An eye to scale-up: a fundamental understanding of the ZIF-8 reaction
While the field of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has been advancing steadily for the last two decades, only recently have commercial applications come onto the market. One key... -
Salts Dissolved in Salts: Ionic Liquid + inorganic salt mixtures
Ionic liquids (ILs) are low melting point organic salts that until recently were thought to have homogeneous microstructure. In recent SANDALS research,1 we showed pure ILs are... -
