The effect of hydration number on the interfacial transport of sodium ionsThe effect of hydration number on the interfacial transport of sodium ions, Published online: 14 May 2018; doi:10.1038/s41586-018-0122-2A sodium ion hydrated with three (rather than one, two, four or five) water molecules diffuses orders of magnitude more quickly than the other ion hydrates owing to the interfacial symmetry mismatch.
