Nuclear quantum effects influence the structure and dynamics of hydrogen-bonded systems,
such as water, which impacts their observed properties with widely varying magnitudes. This …

Aqueous electrolytes are highly important for batteries due to their sustainability, greenness,
and low cost. However, the free water molecules react violently with alkali metals, rendering …

Rechargeable multivalent metal (eg., Ca, Mg or, Al) batteries are ideal candidates for large–
scale electrochemical energy storage due to their intrinsic low cost. However, their practical …

Aqueous Li-ion batteries are attracting increasing attention because they are potentially low
in cost, safe and environmentally friendly. However, their low energy density (< 100 Wh kg …

Water‐in‐salt electrolytes (WISE) have largely widened the electrochemical stability window
(ESW) of aqueous electrolytes by formation of passivating solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) …

Aqueous rechargeable batteries are highly safe, low‐cost, and environmentally friendly, but
restricted by low energy density. One of the most efficient solutions is to improve the …

We present an overview of recent static and time-resolved vibrational spectroscopic studies
of liquid water from ambient conditions to the supercooled state, as well as of crystalline and …

Infrared difference spectroscopy probes vibrational changes of proteins upon their
perturbation. Compared with other spectroscopic methods, it stands out by its sensitivity to …

Recent discovery of high-concentration electrolyte systems has opened a new avenue
toward the high-voltage, safe, and low-cost aqueous rechargeable batteries. However, the …
