The field of ionic liquid microemulsions has evolved significantly, offering a versatile platform for advanced material synthesis, catalysis, and drug delivery. By replacing conventional oil or water ...

We present a method that utilizes ionic liquid-enhanced nanomaterial assembly to fabricate highly stable and large-area MXene-silver nanowire electrodes with ordered layered structures. This approach ...

Using a combination of simulation and experimental techniques, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Material Science and Engineering researchers have been able to identify the electric double layer ...

It is becoming increasingly evident that liquids and solutions are far from homogeneous and are structured on lengths scales from supramolecular to mesoscopic. Such structure ranges from ...

Solar cells, devices that can generate electricity from sunlight, are already helping to reduce fossil fuel emissions in many countries worldwide. In recent years, energy engineers have been assessing ...

Solar cells made with sunlight-absorbing metallo-organic perovskite materials have basked in the photovoltaic (PV) spotlight in recent years. The reason is that perovskite materials such as methyl ...

IONIC LIQUIDS have been one of the more visible classes of chemicals during the past decade, and for good reason. The more chemists have explored the range of properties possible by mixing and ...

In this interview, Professor Mark B. Shiflett, from the University of Kansas, talks to AZoM about exploring gas solubility in ionic liquids and why a greater understanding of gas solubility in ionic ...

Materials scientists have sussed out the physical phenomenon underlying the promising electrical properties of a class of materials called superionic crystals through the investigation of CuCrSe2. A ...
