Importance of the ion-pair lifetime in polymer electrolytes
Harish Gudla, Yunqi Shao, Supho Phunnarungsi +2
Ion-pairing is commonly considered as a culprit for the reduced ionic conductivity in polymer electrolyte systems. However, this simple thermodynamic picture should not be taken li…
Electromechanics of the liquid water vapour interface
Chao Zhang, Michiel Sprik
Two collective properties distinguishing the thin liquid water vapour interface from the bulk liquid are the anisotropy of the pressure tensor giving rise to surface tension and th…
Temperature effects on the ionic conductivity in concentrated alkaline electrolyte solutions
Yunqi Shao, Matti Hellström, Are Yllö +4
Alkaline electrolyte solutions are important components in rechargeable batteries and alkaline fuel cells. As the ionic conductivity is thought to be a limiting factor in the perfo…
Coupling of surface chemistry and electric double layer at TiO electrochemical interfaces
Chao Zhang, Jürg Hutter, Michiel Sprik
Surfaces of metal oxides at working conditions are usually electrified due to the acid-base chemistry. The charged interface compensated with counterions forms the so-called electr…
Experimental and molecular dynamics study of the ionic conductivity in aqueous LiCl electrolytes
Are Yllö, Chao Zhang
Lithium chloride LiCl is widely used as a prototype system to study the strongly dissociated 1-1 electrolyte solution. Here, we combined experimental measurements and classical mol…
Finite electric displacement simulations of polar ionic solid-electrolyte interfaces: Application to NaCl(111)/aqueous NaCl solution
Thomas Sayer, Michiel Sprik, Chao Zhang
Tasker type III polar terminations of ionic crystals carry a net surface charge as well as a dipole moment and are fundamentally unstable. In contact with electrolytes, such polar…
