Scaling perspectives of underscreening in concentrated electrolyte solutions

We present a scaling view of underscreening observed in salt solutions in the range of concentrations greater than about 1 M, in which the screening length increases with concentration. The system consists of hydrated clusters of positive and negative ions with a single unpaired ion as suggested by recent simulations. The environment of this ion is more hydrated than average which leads to a self-similar situation in which the size of this environment scales with the screening length. The prefactor involves the local dielectric constant and the cluster density. The scaling arguments as well as the cluster model lead to scaling of the screening length with the ion concentration, in agreement with observations.

Soft Matter

Soft Matter provides a unique forum for the communication of significant advances in interdisciplinary soft matter research. There is a particular focus on the interface between chemistry, physics, materials science, biology and chemical engineering. Research may report new soft materials or phenomena, encompass their design, synthesis, and use in new applications; or provide fundamental insight and observations on their behaviour. Experimental, theoretical and computational soft matter approaches are encouraged. The scope of Soft Matter covers the following. Soft matter assemblies, including colloids, granular matter, liquid crystals, gels & networks, polymers, hybrid materials, active matter and further examples Soft nanotechnology, soft robotics and devices Synthesis, self-assembly and directed assembly Biological aspects of soft matter including proteins, biopolymers, cells and tissues Surfaces, interfaces and interactions Phase behaviour, coacervation and rheological behaviour Sustainable soft materials including recycling, circular economy and end of life Mechanistic insights and modelling
