Transport mechanisms of electrolytes under the influence of nanoscale confinements (A04)

• Subject Area: Physical Chemistry of Molecules, Liquids and Interfaces, Biophysical Chemistry ; Analytical Chemistry ; Solid State and Surface Chemistry, Material Synthesis ; Statistical Physics, Nonlinear Dynamics, Complex Systems, Soft and Fluid Matter, Biological Physics
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 492723217

The project (Senker/Vogel) combines various NMR experiments with DFT and MD simulations to investigate the transport processes of ions and solvent molecules in nanoscale-structured electrolyte-host systems. We exploit that the used experimental and computational methods yield component-selective information on various length and time scales. Applying this methodology systematically to the electrolyte-host systems of our CRC-collaborators, we expect to understand the influence of confinements on the mass and charge transport of the embedded electrolytes.
