Insight into the adsorbed water layer of hydration shells around iron oxide n...
With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONPwater interfaces are of great importance for biomedical... -
Local microstructure investigations of lignin-derived hard carbon
Sodium ion batteries (NIB) are promising alternatives to the current lithium ion batteries: sodium is cheap, sustainable, and has similar properties to lithium. Search for an... -

Understanding the molecular origin of cononsolvency
The term cononsolvency has been used to describe a situation in which a polymer is less soluble in a mixture of two cosolvents than it is in either one of the pure solvents. If... -
Study of Association of Novel Zwitterionic Materials in Aqeous Solution for E...
New polyionic zwiterionic salts have been developed that show extreme hydrophilicity, offering potential to form microsegregated structures in the presence of water. In these... -
Solvation structure of propane/propene in [C4mim][NTf2] ionic liquid - II
There are great energy costs associated with the separation of the light olefins (ethylene and propylene) from mixed hydrocarbon gas feeds. These olefins (obtained from natural... -
Hydration structure of 5-phenyl tetrazolate in LCST ionic liquids
The interaction of water molecules with a model ammonium phenyltetrazolate ionic liquid will be studied to determine the dominant structures present as a function of water... -
Structure of protic ionic liquids mixed with formamide derivatives.
Mixtures of protic ionic liquids (PIL) and polar, protic molecular liquids (MLs) are attracting great attention. Due to the ionic nature of PILs and the role of hydrogen bonding... -
Why is Choline Arginate the Best Performing Bio-IL for Biomass Pretreatment?
The ionic liquid choline arginate [Ch][Arg] is more effective for coal pretreatment than other choline based amino acid ILs, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.... -
Solution structures of aqua complexes of uranium in different oxidation states
The safe storage of spent nuclear fuels in an underground repository requires the fundamental chemistry to be well understood so predictions of solubility behaviour over 100,000... -
Frustrated Lewis pairs: encounter complexes in an ionic liquid
Frustrated Lewis Pairs (FLPs) are combinations of bulky Lewis acids and bases, which cannot form acid-base complexes due to steric hindrance. They are capable of metal-free H2... -
Water structure in C-A-S-H by neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution:...
The manufacture of every ton of cement emits approximately 0.8 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, comprising 57% of the global human-made CO2 emissions. A low pH - low CO2 class... -
Linking the solid state and solution thorium aqua structures: solution struct...
A understanding of the aqueous chemistry of the actinide ions is not as well developed as for transition metals or the lanthanides. Fundamentally important information such as... -
When like-charged ions attract: How OH-defects influence the size and distrib...
This study will probe the liquid nanostructures of mixtures of two ionic liquids, 4-(hydroxybutyl)pyridinium-bis(trifluorosulfonyl)-imide ([HOC4Py]NTf2) and... -
The origin of the dissolution of cellulose in NaOH/urea aqueous solution at -...
Cellulose is produced over tens of billions of tons every year in the world. It is the one of the most abundant natural polymer resources. Compared with petroleum-based... -
Structure and solvation of LiNTf2/1,2,3-trimethoxypropane - a new bio-derived...
This work will study the structure a new lithium-based electrolyte produced using 1,2,3-trimethoxypropane, a bioderived low-toxicity green solvent, as a first stage towards the... -
Specific ion effects in molecular non-aqueous electrolytes
Specific-ion (Hofmeister effects) are ubiquitous whenever ions are dissolved in solution and are important in many research fields from chemistry, to biology and in materials... -
Solvation of sodium by glyme-based electrolytes for sodium intercalation into...
Here we propose to study the local structure of sodium ion in glyme electrolytes for sodium ion batteries. Glyme electrolyte are linear ethers of the structure... -
Resolving the enigma of self-assembled meso-structures in an H-bonding rich m...
In a recent successful LOQ experiment (RB 1810629), we have unexpectedly observed possible multilayer stacking of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS; ~2wt%) bilayers in glycerol... -
When like-charged ions attract: Size and distribution of cationic clusters in...
Contrary to the strong electrostatic repulsion between like charged ions, last year the Ludwig group, used IR and NMR spectroscopy combined with computational methods, to reveal...
