Tohoku University researchers have unveiled a new means of predicting how to synthesize new materials via the ion-exchange. Based on computer simulations, the method significantly reduces the time and ...

Ion exchange is a well-established separation technique in which charged functional groups on a solid matrix selectively replace ions of similar charge in solution. In the context of heavy metal ...

Ion exchange is a powerful technique for converting one material to another when synthesizing new products. In this process, scientists know what reactants lead to what products, but how the process ...

In researching lithium cathode materials for battery storage, a team from Asst. Prof. Chong Liu’s lab, including first author and graduate student Yu Han, has shown that there is a general pathway for ...

Ion exchange separates components in a sample depending on their relative ionic strengths and interaction with the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a charged substance that selectively ...

(Upper) Schematic illustration of the high-temperature synthesis method normally used for material synthesis and (bottom) the ion-exchange method suitable for synthesizing metastable phases. Tohoku ...
