Electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) are devices allowing the storage or
production of electricity. They function through the adsorption of ions from an electrolyte on …

The development of new electrolyte and electrode designs and compositions has led to
advances in electrochemical energy-storage (EES) devices over the past decade. However …

Non-uniform metal deposition and dendrite formation in high-density energy storage devices
reduces the efficiency, safety and life of batteries with metal anodes. Superconcentrated …

Although lithium, and other alkali ion, batteries are widely utilized and studied, many of the
chemical and mechanical processes that underpin the materials within, and drive their …

The attachment of single-celled organisms, namely bacteria and fungi, to abiotic surfaces is
of great interest to both the scientific and medical communities. This is because the …

MAX phases are etched using an ionic liquid–water mixture to produce titanium carbide
MXenes. The process avoids the use of any acid. Hydrolysis of the fluorine-containing ionic …

Supercapacitors are electrochemical energy storage devices in which the charge is
accumulated through the adsorption of ions from an electrolyte on the surface of the …

Ionic liquids are often named solvents of the future because of flexibility in design. This
statement has given credence that ionic liquids should simply replace the problematic …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are a tailorable class of solvents that are rapidly gaining
scientific and industrial interest. This is because they are distinct from conventional …

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) with efficient charge transport and exceptional
chemical stability are emerging as an import class of semiconducting materials for opto …
