There is an urgent need for to provide energy storage solutions in order for the world to switch form it's reliance on fossil fuels to renewable energy. This will allow us to...

With this proposal we want to study the (deuterated) hydration shell of facetted iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs). IONP–water interfaces are of great importance for biomedical...

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...

Anhydrobiosis, the possibility of life in almost no water, is a puzzling phenomena common to a wide class of organisms, ranging from plant seeds to crustacean cysts, that can...

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...

Borate solution is a much peculiar substance, in which not only hydrated cation but also varied borate speciation such as [B3O3(OH)4–], [B4O5(OH)42–], [B(OH)4–] and [B(OH)3] are...

New polyionic zwiterionic salts have been developed that show extreme hydrophilicity, offering potential to form microsegregated structures in the presence of water. In these...

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...

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are frequently delivered to the patient in the solid state as part of an approved dosage form (e.g. tablets, capsules, etc.) Drug...

Aqueous biphasic systems have been recently proposed for metal separation, using an acidic-ionic liquid based solution. Metals are dissolved in ternary mixture and migrate...

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...

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....

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...

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) are novel liquids composed of inexpensive components, and are non-flammable, with a low volatility. One problem with DES is frequently their...

Graphene oxide is a heavily functionalised form of grapheme that is dispersible in water and other solvents. As water is added to pristine graphene oxide there is formation...

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...

Active pharmaceutical ingredient (APIs) are frequently delivered to the patient in the solid-state as part of an approved dosage form (e.g., tablets, capsules, etc.). Drug...

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...

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...

The manufacture of every ton of cement emits approximately 0.8 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere, comprising 5–7% of the global human-made CO2 emissions. A low pH - low CO2 class...
