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 …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special category of molten salts solely composed of ions with varied
molecular symmetry and charge delocalization. The versatility in combining varied cation …

Metallic zinc is a promising anode material for rechargeable Zn‐based batteries. However,
the dendritic growth of zinc has prevented practical applications. Herein it is demonstrated …

Table 1. PIL name, structure, melting point (Tm), glass transition temperature (Tg), ionic
conductivity (κ), viscosity (η), hydrogen bond length (hbl), most probable hydrogen bond …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are attractive solvents for devices such as lithium ion batteries and
capacitors, but their uptake is limited, partially because their Stern layer nanostructure is …

Electroplating is a key technology in many large-scale industrial applications such as
corrosion-resistant and decorative coatings. Issues with current aqueous processes, such as …

Colloid probe atomic force microscopy (AFM) force measurements are used to elucidate the
effect of variation in the cation alkyl chain length and the anion species on IL nanostructure …

In this overview paper we present a combined in situ STM, AFM and EIS study on the
structure and dynamics of the interfacial layers between Au (111) and two extremely pure …

Colloid probe atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been employed to investigate the
nanotribology of the ionic liquid (IL)–Au (111) interface. Data is presented for four ILs, 1-ethyl …

The electrodeposition of aluminium is demonstrated using a eutectic mixture of aluminium
chloride and urea. The mixture is shown to be conducting through the formation of both …
