Ionic films are ultra-thin layers of salt-like compounds in which strong electrostatic interactions between cations and anions dictate their structural stability and electronic characteristics. The ...

The fast-charging performance of lithium-ion batteries is strongly influenced by the structure of porous electrodes and its evolution during battery operation. In such electrodes, ionic transport is ...

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 ...

Chemists have carried out the first documented esterification of agarose in an ionic liquid, recovering nearly 98 percent of ...
