Abstract
The change in the transport properties (i.e., water diffusivity, shear viscosity, etc.) when adding salts to water has been used to classify ions as either being chaotropic or kosmotropic, a terminology based on the presumption that this phenomenon arises from respective breakdown or enhancement of the hydrogen-bonding network structure. Recent quasi-elastic neutron scattering measurements of the collective structural relaxation time, τC, in aqueous salt solutions were interpreted as confirming this proposed origin of ion effects on the dynamics of water. However, we find similar changes in τC in the same salt solutions based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations using a coarse-grained water model in which no hydrogen bonding exists, challenging this conventional interpretation of mobility change resulting from the addition of salts to water. A thorough understanding of specific ion effects should be useful in diverse material manufacturing and biomedical applications, where these effects are prevalent, but poorly understood.

Abstract
Graphene oxide (GO) membranes are known to have a complex morphology that depends on the degree of oxidation of the graphene flake and the membrane preparation technique. In this study, using Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate the mechanism of swelling of GO membranes exposed to different relative humidity (RH) values and show how this is intimately related to the graphene surface chemistry. We show that the structure of the GO membrane changes while the membrane adsorbs water from the environment and that graphene oxide flakes become charged as the membrane is loaded with water and swells. A detailed comparison between simulation and experimental adsorption data reveals that the flake surface charge drives the water adsorption mechanism at low RH when the membrane topology is still disordered and the internal pores are small and asymmetric. As the membrane is exposed to higher RH (80%), the flake acquires more surface charge as more oxide groups deprotonate, and the pores grow in size, yet maintain their disordered geometry. Only for very high relative humidity (98%) does the membrane undergo structural changes. At this level of humidity, the pores in the membrane become slit-like but the flake surface charge remains constant. Our results unveil a very complex mechanism of swelling and show that a single molecular model cannot fully capture the ever-changing chemistry and morphology of the membrane as it swells. Our computational procedure provides the first atomically resolved insight into the GO membrane structure of experimental samples.

Abstract
Crystallization abounds in nature and industrial practice. A plethora of indispensable products ranging from agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals to battery materials are produced in crystalline form in industrial practice. Yet, our control over the crystallization process across scales, from molecular to macroscopic, is far from complete. This bottleneck not only hinders our ability to engineer the properties of crystalline products essential for maintaining our quality of life but also hampers progress toward a sustainable circular economy in resource recovery. In recent years, approaches leveraging light fields have emerged as promising alternatives to manipulate crystallization. In this review article, we classify laser-induced crystallization approaches where light-material interactions are utilized to influence crystallization phenomena according to proposed underlying mechanisms and experimental setups. We discuss nonphotochemical laser-induced nucleation, high-intensity laser-induced nucleation, laser trapping-induced crystallization, and indirect methods in detail. Throughout the review, we highlight connections among these separately evolving subfields to encourage the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.

Abstract
Graphene-based nanochannels are a popular choice in emerging nanofluidics applications because of their tunable and nanometer-scale channels. In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed both to (i) assess the stability of dry and hydrated graphene nanochannels and (ii) elucidate the properties of water confined in these channels, using replica-scale models with 0.66-2.38 nm channel heights. The use of flexible nanochannel walls allows the nanochannel height to relax in response to the solvation forces arising from the confined fluid and the forces between the confining surfaces, without the need for application of arbitrarily high external pressures. Dry nanochannels were found to completely collapse if the initial nanochannel height was less than 2 nm, due to attractive van der Waals interactions between the confining graphene surfaces. However, the presence of water was found to prevent total nanochannel collapse, due to repulsive hydration forces opposing the attractive van der Waals force. For nanochannel heights less than ∼1.7 nm, the confining surfaces must be relaxed to obtain accurate hydration pressures and water diffusion coefficients, by ensuring commensurability between the number of confined water layers and the channel height. For very small (∼0.7 nm), hydrated channels a pressure of 231 MPa due to the van der Waals forces was obtained. In the same system, the confined water forms a mobile, liquid monolayer with a diffusion coefficient of 4.0 × 10-5 cm2 s-1, much higher than bulk liquid water. Although this finding conflicts with most classical MD simulations, which predict in-plane order and arrested dynamics, it is supported by experiments and recently published first-principles MD simulations. Classical simulations can therefore be used to predict the properties of water confined in sub-nanometre graphene channels, providing sufficiently realistic molecular models and accurate intermolecular potentials are employed.

Abstract
Using non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate the effect of concentration and alkali cation types (K+, Na+, and Li+) on the hydrodynamic slip of aqueous alkali chloride solutions in an uncharged graphene nanochannel. We modeled the graphene-electrolyte interactions using the potential of Williams et al. [J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 8, 703 (2017)], which uses optimized graphene-ion Lennard-Jones interaction parameters to effectively account for surface and solvent polarizability effects on the adsorption of ions in an aqueous solution to a graphene surface. In our study, the hydrodynamic slip exhibits a decreasing trend for alkali chloride solutions with increasing salt concentration. The NaCl solution shows the highest reduction in the slip length followed by KCl and LiCl solutions, and the reduction in the slip length is very much dependent on the salt type. We also compared the slip length with that calculated using a standard unoptimized interatomic potential obtained from the Lorentz-Berthelot mixing rule for the ion-carbon interactions, which is not adjusted to account for the surface and solvent polarizability at the graphene surface. In contrast to the optimized model, the slip length of alkali chloride solutions in the unoptimized model shows only a nominal change with salt concentration and is also independent of the nature of salts. Our study shows that adoption of the computationally inexpensive optimized potential of Williams et al. for the graphene-ion interactions has a significant influence on the calculation of slip lengths for electrolyte solutions in graphene-based nanofluidic devices.

Abstract
Although inhibiting hydrate formation in hydrocarbon-water systems is paramount in preventing pipe blockage in hydrocarbon transport systems, the molecular mechanisms responsible for antiagglomerant (AA) performance are not completely understood. To better understand why macroscopic performance is affected by apparently small changes in the AA molecular structure, we perform molecular dynamics simulations. We quantify the cohesion energy between two gas hydrate nanoparticles dispersed in liquid hydrocarbons in the presence of different AAs, and we achieve excellent agreement against experimental data obtained at high pressure using the micromechanical force apparatus. This suggests that the proposed simulation approach could provide a screening method for predicting, in silico, the performance of new molecules designed to manage hydrates in flow assurance. Our results suggest that entropy and free energy of solvation of AAs, combined in some cases with the molecular orientation at hydrate-oil interfaces, are descriptors that could be used to predict performance, should the results presented here be reproduced for other systems as well. These insights could help speed up the design of new AAs and guide future experiments.

Abstract
The concentration dependence of the dielectric constant and the density of 11 aqueous alkali halide solutions (LiCl, NaCl, KCl, RbCl, CsCl, LiI, NaI, KI, CsI, KF, and CsF) is investigated by molecular simulation. Predictions using eight non-polarizable ion force fields combined with the TIP4P/ε water model are compared to experimental data. The influence of the water model and the temperature on the results for the NaCl brine are also addressed. The TIP4P/ε water model improves the accuracy of dielectric constant predictions compared to the SPC/E water model. The solution density is predicted well by most ion models. Almost all ion force fields qualitatively capture the decline of the dielectric constant with the increase of concentration for all solutions and with the increase of temperature for NaCl brine. However, the sampled dielectric constant is mostly in poor quantitative agreement with experimental data. These results are related to the microscopic solution structure, ion pairing, and ultimately the force field parameters. Ion force fields with excessive contact ion pairing and precipitation below the experimental solubility limit generally yield higher dielectric constant values. An adequate reproduction of the experimental solubility limit should therefore be a prerequisite for further investigations of the dielectric constant of aqueous electrolyte solutions by molecular simulation.

Abstract
The iodate ion has an anisotropic structure and charge distribution. It has a pyramidal shape with the iodine atom located at the peak of the pyramid. The water molecules interact differently with the positively charged iodine and the negatively charged oxygen atoms of this anion, giving rise to two distinct solvation shells. In the present study, we have performed ab initio Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the dynamics of water molecules in the iodine and oxygen solvation shells of the iodate ion and compared the behavior with those of the bulk. The dynamics of water is calculated for both the BLYP and the dispersion-corrected BLYP-D3 functionals at room temperature. The dynamics of water in the solvation shells at higher temperatures of 353 and 330 K has also been investigated for the BLYP and BLYP-D3 functionals, respectively. The hydrogen bond dynamics, vibrational spectral diffusion, orientational and translational diffusion, and residence dynamics of water molecules in the two solvation shells are looked at in the current study. The ion-water hydrogen bond dynamics is found to be somewhat faster than that for water-water hydrogen bonds in the bulk, which can be attributed to a ring-like electron distribution on the iodate oxygens. The dynamical trends are connected to the water structure making/breaking properties of the positively charged iodine and negatively charged oxygen sites of the anion. Furthermore, orientational jumps of the iodate ion and also those of surrounding water molecules which are hydrogen bonded to the oxygen atoms of the iodate ion are also investigated. It is found that the nature of these orientational jumps can be different from those reported earlier for planar polyoxyanions such as the nitrate ion.

Abstract
Countless molecular dynamics studies have relied on available ion and water force field parameters to model aqueous electrolyte solutions. The TIP4P/2005 model has proven itself to be among the best rigid water force fields, whereas many of the most successful ion parameters were optimized in combination with SPC/E, TIP3P, or TIP4P/Ew water. Many researchers have combined these ions with TIP4P/2005, hoping to leverage the strengths of both parameter sets. To assess if this widely used approach is justified and to provide a guide in selecting ion parameters, we investigated the transferability of various commonly used monovalent and multivalent ion parameters to the TIP4P/2005 water model. The transferability is evaluated in terms of ion hydration free energy, hydration radius, coordination number, and self-diffusion coefficient at infinite dilution. For selected ion parameters, we also investigated density, ion pairing, chemical potential, and mean ionic activity coefficients at finite concentrations. We found that not all ions are equally transferable to TIP4P/2005 without compromising their performance. In particular, ions optimized for TIP3P water were found to be poorly transferable to TIP4P/2005, whereas ions optimized for TIP4P/Ew water provided nearly perfect transferability. The latter ions also showed good overall agreement with experimental values. The one exception is that no combination of ion parameters and water model considered here was found to accurately reproduce experimental self-diffusion coefficients. Additionally, we found that cations optimized for SPC/E and TIP3P water displayed consistent underpredictions in the hydration free energy, whereas anions consistently overpredicted the hydration free energy.

Abstract
Ions have a profound effect on the geometrical structure of liquid water and an aqueous environment is known to change the electronic structure of ions. Here we combine photoelectron spectroscopy measurements from liquid microjets with molecular dynamical and quantum chemical calculations to address the reverse question, to what extent do ions affect the electronic structure of liquid water? We study aqueous solutions of sodium iodide (NaI) over a wide concentration range, from nearly pure water to 8 M solutions, recording spectra in the 5 to 60 eV binding energy range to include all water valence and the solute Na+ 2p, I- 4d, and I- 5p orbital ionization peaks. We observe that the electron binding energies of the solute ions change only slightly as a function of electrolyte concentration, less than 150 ± 60 meV over an ∼8 M range. Furthermore, the photoelectron spectrum of liquid water is surprisingly mildly affected as we transform the sample from a dilute aqueous salt solution to a viscous, crystalline-like phase. The most noticeable spectral changes are a negative binding energy shift of the water 1b2 ionizing transition (up to -370 ± 60 meV) and a narrowing of the flat-top shape water 3a1 ionization feature (up to 450 ± 90 meV). A novel computationally efficient technique is introduced to calculate liquid-state photoemission spectra using small clusters from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations embedded in dielectric continuum. This theoretical treatment captured the characteristic positions and structures of the aqueous photoemission peaks, reproducing the experimentally observed narrowing of the water 3a1 feature and weak sensitivity of the water binding energies to electrolyte concentration. The calculations allowed us to attribute the small binding energy shifts to ion-induced disruptions of intermolecular electronic interactions. Furthermore, they demonstrate the importance of considering concentration-dependent screening lengths for a correct description of the electronic structure of solvated systems. Accounting for electronic screening, the calculations highlight the minimal effect of electrolyte concentration on the 1b1 binding energy reference, in accord with the experiments. This leads us to a key finding that the isolated, lowest-binding-energy, 1b1, photoemission feature of liquid water is a robust energetic reference for aqueous liquid microjet photoemission studies.

Abstract
![]()
The permeability
of multicomponent phospholipid bilayers in the
gel phase is investigated via molecular dynamics simulation. The physical
role of the different molecules is probed by comparing multiple mixed-component
bilayers containing distearylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) with varying
amounts of either the emollient isostearyl isostearate or long-chain
alcohol (dodecanol, octadecanol, or tetracosanol) molecules. Permeability
is found to depend on both the tail packing density and hydrogen bonding
between lipid headgroups and water. Whereas the addition of emollient
or alcohol molecules to a gel-phase DSPC bilayer can increase the
tail packing density, it also disturbed the hydrogen-bonding network,
which in turn can increase interfacial water dynamics. These phenomena
have opposing effects on bilayer permeability, which is found to depend
on the balance between enhanced tail packing and decreased hydrogen
bonding.

Abstract
Single- and multicomponent lipid bilayers of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DSPC), isostearyl isostearate, and heptadecanoyl heptadecanoate in the gel phase are studied via molecular dynamics simulations. It is shown that the structural properties of multicomponent bilayers can deviate strongly from the structures of their single-component counterparts. Specifically, the lipid mixtures are shown to adopt a compact packing by offsetting the positioning depths at which different lipid species are located in the bilayer. This packing mechanism affects the area per lipid, the bilayer height, and the chain tilt angles and has important consequences for other bilayer properties, such as interfacial hydrogen bonding and bilayer permeability. In particular, the simulations suggest that bilayers containing isostearyl isostearate or heptadecanoyl heptadecanoate are less permeable than pure 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine or DSPC bilayers. Furthermore, hydrogen-bond analysis shows that the residence times of lipid-water hydrogen bonds depend strongly on the bilayer composition, with longer residence times for bilayers that have a higher DSPC content. The findings illustrate and explain the fundamental differences between the properties of single- and multicomponent bilayers.

Abstract
The solubility of NaCl in water is evaluated by using three force field models: Joung-Cheatham for NaCl dissolved in two different water models (SPC/E and TIP4P/2005) and Smith Dang NaCl model in SPC/E water. The methodology based on free-energy calculations [E. Sanz and C. Vega, J. Chem. Phys. 126, 014507 (2007)] and [J. L. Aragones et al., J. Chem. Phys. 136, 244508 (2012)] has been used, except, that all calculations for the NaCl in solution were obtained by using molecular dynamics simulations with the GROMACS package instead of homemade MC programs. We have explored new lower molalities and made longer runs to improve the accuracy of the calculations. Exploring the low molality region allowed us to obtain an analytical expression for the chemical potential of the ions in solution as a function of molality valid for a wider range of molalities, including the infinite dilute case. These new results are in better agreement with recent estimations of the solubility obtained with other methodologies. Besides, two empirical simple rules have been obtained to have a rough estimate of the solubility of a certain model, by analyzing the ionic pairs formation as a function of molality and/or by calculating the difference between the NaCl solid chemical potential and the standard chemical potential of the salt in solution.

Abstract
Radioactive pertechnetate, (99)TcO4(-), is one of the most problematic ionic species in the context of the clean up and storage of nuclear waste. Molecular simulations can be used to understand the behavior of TcO4(-) in dilute aqueous solutions, providing reliable potentials are available. This work outlines the development of a new potential model for TcO4(-) and competing SO4(2-), optimized using their hydration properties, such as the Gibbs hydration free energy (calculated using Bennett's acceptance ratio method). The findings show that the TcO4(-) oxyanion has a very low hydration free energy (-202 kJ mol(-1)) compared to other anions (Cl(-), I(-), SO4(2-)) leading to fast water exchange dynamics and explaining its observed high mobility in the aqueous environment. Its hydrated structure, investigated using ion-water radial distribution functions, shows that it is unique amongst the other anions in that it does not possess well-defined hydration shells. Since contaminants and ubiquitous species in the aqueous environment are often present as tetrahedral oxyanions, it is proposed that the approach could easily be extended to a whole host of other species.
