This project aims to understand what governs the sensitivity of many technological and biological processes to the precise nature of the salt present in solution. The term ‘ion-specific’ encompasses all the circumstances in which the influence of a salt in solution depends on the precise chemical nature of the salt, not just the electrical charge on the ions that form the salt. As such, ion-specific effects abound and have important consequences in most situations involving solutions, including cellular functions and battery technology. This project will enable us to understand and control the influence of specific ions, building on our recently described fundamental ion-specific series with colloid science experiments and quantum simulations. This project should overcome current challenges in predicting ion-specific effects leading to progress in a wide variety of applications of colloid and interface science, from sensor interfaces to self-assembly.

该项目旨在了解是什么控制了许多技术和生物过程对溶液中盐的确切性质的敏感性。术语“离子特异性”包括溶液中盐的影响取决于盐的精确化学性质而不仅仅是形成盐的离子上的电荷的所有情况。因此，离子特异性效应大量存在，并在涉及解决方案的大多数情况下具有重要影响，包括细胞功能和电池技术。该项目将使我们能够理解和控制特定离子的影响，建立在我们最近描述的基本离子特定系列与胶体科学实验和量子模拟的基础上。该项目应克服目前的挑战，在预测离子特定的影响，导致在各种各样的应用胶体和界面科学的进展，从传感器接口自组装。
