The Role of Specific Ion Effects in Ion Transport: The Case of Nitrate and Thiocyanate

Kaitlin Lovering, Srikanth Nayak, Wei Bu +1

The selective transport of trivalent rare earth metals from aqueous to organic environments with the help of amphiphilic "extractants" is an industrially important process. When th…

Heavy Anionic Complex Creates a Unique Water Structure at a Soft Charged Interface

William Rock, Baofu Qiao, Tiecheng Zhou +2

Ion hydration and interfacial water play crucial roles in numerous phenomena ranging from biological to industrial systems. Although biologically relevant (and mostly smaller) ions…

Interfacial Ionic Liquids: Connecting Static and Dynamic Structures

Ahmet Uysal, Hua Zhou, Guang Feng +8

It is well-known that room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) often adopt a charge-separated layered structure, i.e., with alternating cation- and anion-rich layers, at electrified…

How water meets a very hydrophobic surface

Sudeshna Chattopadhyay, Ahmet Uysal, Benjamin Stripe +4

Is there a low-density region ('gap') between water and a hydrophobic surface? Previous X-ray/neutron reflectivity results have been inconsistent because the effect (if any) is sub…
