Optimum performance of upcoming thermochemical energy storage and other technologies depends on proper applications of the principles that underpin salt ion hydration. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

This study investigates the influence of oil polarity on interfacial tension (IFT), contact angle, oil recovery, and effluent pH in smart water and Low-salinity water injection. The results indicate ...

When metal cations dissolve in water, they become encased in layers of solvent molecules whose rapid rearrangements and exchanges define the hydration dynamics. The structure and mobility of the first ...
