Structural hysteresis in dilute aqueous electrolytes from path-dependent ion pairing
Ning Zhang, Shaoheng Wang, Qiongqiong Luo, Jianfeng Tang, Dewen Zeng, Yahui Yang, Quanbao ZhouDilute electrolyte solutions can exhibit path-dependent ion pairing and structural hysteresis, leading to distinct long-lived states under identical thermodynamic conditions.
