Water dynamics in concentrated electrolytes: Local ion effect on hydrogen-bond jumps rather than collective coupling to ion clusters [Physical Sciences]

Zhang et al. (1) suggest that water rotational dynamics slows down in all concentrated ionic solutions mostly because of a collective effect due to the coupling between water dynamics and the motion of large ion clusters. These conclusions were based on simulations of aqueous NaSCN and KSCN salts, with a...
