Complex coacervation is an associative, liquid–liquid phase separation that can occur in
solutions of oppositely-charged macromolecular species, such as proteins, polymers, and …

The mechanically hard phase and ionically conductive phase endow suitably designed
block copolymer electrolytes (BCPEs) with the “Janus” property, thus providing the …

Ionic liquid‐based thermoelectric gels become a compelling candidate for thermoelectric
power generation and sensing due to their giant thermopower, good thermal stability, high …

Block polymers have undergone extraordinary evolution since their inception more than 60
years ago, maturing from simple surfactants to an expansive class of macromolecules …

Much of chemistry is concerned with the study of reactions and processes in solution, that is,
where liquids are used as solvents. 2, 3 The solvent is the (excess) liquid phase in which …

High ionic conductivity, satisfactory mechanical properties, and wide electrochemical
windows are crucial factors for composite electrolytes employed in solid-state lithium-ion …

Oppositely charged polymers can undergo the process of complex coacervation, which
refers to a liquid–liquid phase separation driven by electrostatic attraction. These materials …

Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-grafted imidazolium-containing flexible-side-chain type anion
exchange membrane (AEM) has been designed and fabricated for efficient anion exchange …

Classical electrical double layer (EDL) models are foundational to the representation of
atomistic structure and reactivity at charged interfaces. An important limitation to these …

Our ability to predict the thermodynamic phase behavior of a material system is a direct
reflection on our understanding of the relevant interactions. Voorn–Overbeek (VO) theory …
