Range and sensitivity of 17O nuclear spin-lattice relaxation as a probe of aqueous electrolyte dynamics

Chengtong Zhang – @zhang_chengtong

We provide insights into the behavior of aqueous solutions of alkali chlorides by combining 17O relaxation data with diffusion and viscosity data and contrast their behavior with 1H data. The 17O relaxation correlates well with viscosity data but not with diffusion data, while 1H relaxation correlates with neither.
