Metal Organic Frameworks and Porous Polymer Network-Based Matrices as Nonflammable Battery Electrolytes

Ozdemir R., framergy, Inc, US

Due to their high energy densities, low self-discharge rates and low maintenance requirements, Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries represent the preferred battery format, especially when compared to other rechargeable cells such as Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries. [...]

Multiscale Modeling and Experimental Study of CO2 Absorption into Ionic Liquid Reverse Micelle

Shi W., Hong L., Kusuma V.A., Hopkinson D.P., National Energy Technology Laboratory, US

Highly viscous solvents for gas absorption will lead to large pumping power requirement and large absorption/desorption tower, resulting in high capital cost. Ionic liquids (ILs) represent such examples even though ILs have been extensively studied [...]

Ionic Liquid Flow Battery Materials and Prototyping

Anderson T.M., Pratt III H.D., Sandia National Laboratories, US

SNL has developed a series of ionic-liquid electrolytes with accompanying non-aqueous compatible membranes and flow cell designs for improved energy density flow batteries targeted to support increasing demands for stationary energy storage. The new electrolytes [...]

An Electrodeposition Method for Preparing (Ni-Cu) /(Cu-Ni) Multilayers on magnesium alloy from ionic liquid

Guo J., Guo X., Guo J., Guo X., Dong J., Wang S., Gong J., Zhu R., Ding W., Shanghai Jiao Tong University, CN

Abstract A single bath of ionic liquid electrodeposition method has been developed for the preparation of (Ni-Cu)/(Cu-Ni) multilayers on AZ91D magnesium alloy. The technique has been used to make multilayers with a composition of (92.47at.%Ni-7.53at.%Cu) [...]

Ionic liquid: an innovative medium for nanofabrication

Darwich W., Santini C.C., Gaillard F., Haumesser P.-H., université de lyon 1, CNRS UMR 5265, FR

Porous silicon (PSi) has been attracting a great attention as a breakthrough material with exceptional characteristics for microelectronics, layer transfer technology, solar and fuel cells, biomedicine, etc. Its properties can be modified by in introducing [...]

Hybrid Materials made up of Ionic Liquids Confined in Porous Silica and Chalcogenide

Ori G., Villemot F., Viau L., Vioux A., Massobrio C., Coasne B., UMI CNRS / Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Hybrid materials made up of an inorganic porous material filled with a room temperature ionic liquid (IL) represent a novel class of materials with promising applications. The structure and dynamics of IL confined in amorphous [...]

Stabilization of mono- and bimetallic nanoparticles in ionic liquids

Darwich W., Arquillière P., Helgadottir I., Haumesser P.-H., Santini C.C., CEA/LETI/MINATEC, FR

Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are needed in a range of applications such as the fabrication of advanced microelectronic, magnetic or optical devices. Hence, substantial effort has been centered on stabilizing transition-metal nanoparticles in wet synthesis processes, [...]
