IBM System Storage Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM System Storage products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Post your ideas

  1. Post an idea.

  2. Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.

  3. Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.

Hydration-Shell Dynamics in Layer-by-Layer Assembly for Catalytic Conversion

PROBLEM: A catalytic LbL film must bring a pollutant or CO2-derived species close enough to a reactive site for conversion, but a tightly held hydration shell can keep the reactant at arm's length. Each added layer changes the water network near the catalyst, so the same catalyst can appear active in one stack and inert in another, and the reason is lost if only the final conversion result is kept. Teams need versioned records that preserve each layer variant tried.

SOLUTION: Storage Copy Data Management would keep versioned copies of every LbL catalytic recipe, its DFT binding prediction, and its isotherm and conversion test plan, so a later team can recover exactly which layer order was tested and why. The capability would preserve regeneration and reuse accounting with each copy, preventing a promising variant from being lost when a stack is revised.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — hydration-shell dynamics: water structuring and ion dehydration at interfaces controls binding kinetics; DFT (Kohn–Sham) predicts binding groups; batch isotherms qe = (C0 − Ce)V/m and Langmuir/Freundlich isotherms are textbook. Source: Hohenberg–Kohn 1964; Kohn–Sham 1965.
