Ionic transport inside porous carbon electrodes underpins the storage of energy in supercapacitors and the rate at which they can charge and discharge, yet few studies have elucidated the materials ...

SIMS imaging of lithium-ion migration within a solid electrolyte specimen. Grain boundaries resistant to ionic diffusion have created an uneven 6 Li distribution. Quantitative analysis found that ...

Salinity gradient energy is recognized as a promising candidate for the substitution of the traditional fossil fuels. Recently nanofluidic salinity gradient energy harvesting via ion channels or ...

Ionic crystals generally possess isotropic and close-packed structures and are unsuitable for creating nano-spaces. In this work, “porous ionic crystals” will be constructed by the use of molecular ...

Researchers at the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) have focused on polymeric binders to enhance the performance and stability of electrodes in Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs).

Cells are crowded with macromolecules, which limits the diffusion of proteins, especially in prokaryotic cells without active transport in the cytoplasm. While investigating the relationship between ...

In this interview, Professor Mark B. Shiflett, from the University of Kansas, talks to AZoM about exploring gas solubility in ionic liquids and why a greater understanding of gas solubility in ionic ...
