Abstract
Aqueous zinc ion batteries have high potential applicability for energy storage due to their reliable safety, environmental friendliness, and low cost. However, the freezing of aqueous electrolytes limits the normal operation of batteries at low temperatures. Herein, a series of high-performance and low-cost chloride hydrogel electrolytes with high concentrations and low freezing points are developed. The electrochemical windows of the chloride hydrogel electrolytes are enlarged by > 1 V under cryogenic conditions due to the obvious evolution of hydrogen bonds, which highly facilitates the operation of electrolytes at ultralow temperatures, as evidenced by the low-temperature Raman spectroscopy and linear scanning voltammetry. Based on the Hofmeister effect, the hydrogen-bond network of the cooperative chloride hydrogel electrolyte comprising 3 M ZnCl2 and 6 M LiCl can be strongly interrupted, thus exhibiting a sufficient ionic conductivity of 1.14 mS cm-1 and a low activation energy of 0.21 eV at -50 °C. This superior electrolyte endows a polyaniline/Zn battery with a remarkable discharge specific capacity of 96.5 mAh g-1 at -50 °C, while the capacity retention remains ~ 100% after 2000 cycles. These results will broaden the basic understanding of chloride hydrogel electrolytes and provide new insights into the development of ultralow-temperature aqueous batteries.

Abstract
The anion-water bonds and hydrogen bonds between water molecules in X(-)(H(2)O)(n) (X = F and Cl, n = 3-7) clusters are analyzed by evaluating the charge-transfer (CT) and dispersion terms for every pair of ions and molecules with the perturbation theory based on the locally projected molecular orbitals. In particular, the relative stabilities and the bond strengths in all 11 distinct cubic X(-)(H(2)O)(7) isomers are analyzed by classifying the ligand water (L) with the numbers of the donating (n) and accepting (m) OHs as LD(n)A(m). The number of LD(0)A(2) waters determines the relative stability. It is demonstrated that the strengths of the anion-ligand bonds are strongly influenced by two other hydrogen bonds of the water molecules adjacent to the ligand. When the model theory of Mulliken's charge-transfer interaction is applied to the anion-ligand and water-water hydrogen bonds, the dependence of the bond strengths on the chains of the hydrogen bonds is explained.

Abstract
Open statistical ensemble simulations are used to study the mechanism of nucleation of atmospheric water on sodium-chloride ion pair in a wide range of temperature and relative humidity values. The extended simple point-charge model is used for water molecules. Ions-water nonadditive interactions are taken into account by introducing the mutual polarization of ions and water in the field of each other. Gibbs free-energy variations are calculated from Na+-Cl- pair-correlation function and used as a criterion for determining the possible stable states of the cluster. In this relation, it was found that the dissociation of ion pairs in water clusters occurs even at vapor pressures of only a few millibars. In the conditions under consideration solvent-separated ion-pair states are found to be more probable than contact ion-pair configurations. The susceptibilities of water and ions are found to play an essential role in the stabilization of ions at large separations. The structure of ion-induced clusters is analyzed in terms of binary correlation functions. The non-pair interactions influence essentially the structure of ion solvation shells. The results of simulation show that the separation of the charges in water clusters containing simple ions can take place under atmospheric conditions.
