Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption of thiocyanate ions to the dodecanol/water interface characterized by UV second harmonic generation

TL;DR: In this article, the Gibbs free energy of adsorption was determined to be −6.7 ± 1.1 and − 6.3 ± 0.8 kJ/mol for sodium and potassium thiocyanate at the air/water interface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cation-cation contact pairing in water: guanidinium.

TL;DR: Observed concentration-induced nitrogen K-edge resonance shifts result from π* state mixing and the release of water molecules from each first solvation sphere as two solvated guanidinium ions associate into a stacked pair configuration.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrokinetic Power Generation from Liquid Water Microjets

TL;DR: In this article, the use of liquid water microjets for direct conversion of electrokinetic energy to electrical power was described, and the energy dissipation due to back conduction of ions at the surface and in the bulk liquid was eliminated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nature of the aqueous hydroxide ion probed by X-ray absorption spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Both the experimental and the calculated XA spectra indicate that the nature of the interaction between the OH- ion and the solvating water molecules is fundamentally different than the corresponding interactions of aqueous halide anions with respect to this direct orbital distortion.
