Characterizations of ethanol hydration layers are examined through subterahertz spectroscopy of water/ethanol mixtures by using a microfluidic system. A three-component model is used to explain measurements discrepancies with the Lambert–Beer law and to determine ethanol hydration shell absorption. Moreover, the hydration shell distribution is compared with molecular dynamics simulations with a good agreement. Ethanol hydration number is then computed and it can quickly characterize only the first water hydration layer or the whole hydration shell, depending on the chosen extraction model.
