The extent to which cations and anions in ionic liquids (ILs) and ionic liquid solutions are
dissociated is of both fundamental scientific interest and practical importance because ion …

Ionic liquids (ILs) and deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been suggested as eco-friendly
alternatives to organic solvents. A trace amount of water is often unavoidable as impurity …

The presence of water strongly influences structure, dynamics and properties of ion-
containing soft matter. Yet, the hydration of such matter is not well understood. Here, we …

For many years, the performance of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs) has
relied mainly on two factors,(1) the optimization of electrodes composition and/or structure …

The varying states of water confined in the nano-domain structures of typical room
temperature ionic liquids (ILs) were investigated by 1H NMR and by measurements of self …

Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials which are finding application in a variety of
technologically important areas. Because of their hydrophilic character, at least a small …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising nonderivatizing solvents for the dissolution of cellulose and
lignin in biomass pretreatment processes, which are, however, retarded by sluggish …

The deep sea remains the largest uncharted territory on Earth because it's eternally dark
under high pressure and the saltwater is corrosive and conductive. The harsh environment …

We have developed an all-atomistic force field for a new class of halogen-free chelated
orthoborate-phosphonium ionic liquids. The force field is based on an AMBER framework …

Ultrafast two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2D-IR) of thiocyanate ([SCN]−) in 1-butyl-3-
methylimidazolium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([C4C1im][NTf2]) and 1-butyl-2, 3 …
