In this study, the solvatochromic behavior of Methyl orange was studied visible spectrophotometrically in seven aqueous binary systems from water with methanol, ethanol, propanol, DMF, DMSO, acetone and dioxane solvents. The spectral data was interpreted in terms of solute-solvent and solvent-solvent interactions. The deviation from linearity in the plots of ν versus x due to preferential solvation of the Methyl orange by one component of the mixed solvent and due to solvent microheterogeneity. The preferential solvation parameters local mole fraction X, solvation index δ and exchange constant K were evaluated. The preference of solute to be solvated by one of the solvating species relative to others was explained. All values of K were less than unity that indicates the preferential solvation of Methyl orange by water, except in case the water-propanol mixture where K was higher than unity. The preferential solvation index δ values were calculated and interpreted for each binary mixture. The magnitude of preferential solvation index was highest in water-DMSO mixtures than in the all other solvent mixtures. The energy of electronic transition in maximum absorption (E) was calculated in each binary mixture. The extent and importance of each solute-solvent interactions to E were analyzed by the linear solvation energy relationships using the Kamlet-Taft strategy.

Long-standing challenges including notorious side reactions at the Zn anode, low Zn anode utilization, and rapid cathode degradation at low current densities hinder the advancement of aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs). Inspired by the critical role of capping agents in nanomaterials synthesis and bulk crystal growth, a series of capping agents are employed to demonstrate their applicability in AZIBs. Here, it is shown that the preferential adsorption of capping agents on different Zn crystal planes, coordination between capping agents and Zn ions, and interactions with metal oxide cathodes enable preferred Zn (002) deposition, water-deficient Zn ion solvation structure, and a dynamic cathode-electrolyte interface.

The solvation structure and dynamics of the thiocyanate anion at infinite dilution in mixed N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF)-water liquid solvents was studied using classical molecular dynamics simulation techniques. The results obtained have indicated a preferential solvation of the thiocyanate anions by the water molecules, due to strong hydrogen bonding interactions between the anion and water molecules. A first hydration shell at short intermolecular distances is formed around the SCN anion consisting mainly by water molecules, followed by a second shell consisting by both DMF and water molecules.

The recycling of critical metals from spent lithium-ion batteries represents a significant step towards meeting the enhancing resource requirements in the new energy industry. Nevertheless, achieving effective leaching of metals from the stable metal-oxygen (MO) structure of spent ternary cathodes and separation of metal products simultaneously still remained a huge challenge towards industrial applications. Herein, a competitive coordination strategy was proposed to design a novel deep eutectic solvent (DESs), which improved both leaching and selective metal recycling capacity even at high solid-liquid ratio (1 : 10).

Article Synopsis
- A continuous hydrogen-bond-network in aqueous electrolytes can cause unwanted hydrogen transfer and side reactions in aqueous zinc metal batteries (AZMBs), which complicates their efficiency.
- The introduction of the 1,5-Pentanediol (PD) molecule stabilizes the electrode/electrolyte interface by breaking up hydrogen-bonding in water, enhancing electron acceptance, and promoting favorable interactions with the electrode material.
- This leads to improved zinc deposition, formation of a protective solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI), and a significant extension of cycling performance, with Zn//Zn cells exhibiting over 5600 hours of stable operation.

The β-glucosidase enzyme is a glycosyl hydrolase that breaks down the β-1,4 linkage of cellobiose. It is inhibited by glucose at high concentrations due to competitive inhibition. However, at lower glucose concentrations, the glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase from Humicola insolens (BGHI) undergoes stimulation.
