Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium in standard organic carbonate electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Three different electrolytes are chosen to study; a...

Asphaltenes are a complex and problematic fraction of crude oil that can precipitate, alter wettability and stabilise unwanted oil-in-water emulsions. Asphaltenes have a high...

Crown ethers are cyclic molecules formed by joining ether groups into a ring. These compounds have many interesting solution properties, including their ability to bind strongly...

Recently, the degree of sweetness of natural sugars has been associated and correlated to their hydration shell (strength, orientation and length of their hydrogen bonds with...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in our portable electronics, however they are ill suited for applications where cost or sustainability are of paramount importance,...
