The question of how precisely protons move through water in an electric field has fascinated scientists for centuries.
Now, more than 200 years after the last major insight into the phenomenon, scientists have some clarity.for 'proton jumping', about how a charge might flow through a solution of water., or even the actual structure of water, were even known about – modern-day researchers have long known that it didn't provide a complete understanding of what happened at a molecular level.
The findings suggest that protons move through water in 'trains' of three water molecules, with 'tracks' built in front of the train as it goes and pulled up once it's passed. "The debates on the Grotthuss mechanism and the nature of proton solvation in water have grown heated, as this is one of the most basic challenges in chemistry,"The new study is compelling because it combines a theoretical approach with physical experimentationX-ray absorption spectroscopyAs predicted, the impact was greatest on three water molecules, though to different extents on each individual molecule. Researchers found the groups of three molecules forming chains with the proton.
