Understanding the Solvation Structure in Bulk Electrolyte Solutions

Understanding the relationship between the interaction of ions in solution with the solvation structure and its dynamics and the bulk properties like ionic conductivity, viscosity, etc is of considerable importance. Solute-solute, solute-solvent, and solvent-solvent interactions play a crucial role in determining the solvation structure and its dynamics. The selection of suitable electrolyte can greatly impact the performace of electrical energy storage devices.
