Abstract:The increasing use of nanostructured materials in contact with aqueous solutions for various technological applications including energy storage requires an improved understanding of the effects of nanoconfinement. In this study, we use valence-to-core X-ray emission spectroscopy (VTC-XES) to quantify the effects of nanoconfinement on the evolution of local coordination structure of Zn complexes in aqueous zinc chloride systems. Recent work (Dhakal, et al., 2023) establishes the ability to quantify the Zn–Cl f… Show more
