Hunting ionic liquids with large electrochemical potential windows

Computational Study of Electrochemical Windows of Room-Temperature Ionic Liquids

Yong-Hui Tian, T-1; George S. Goff, Wolfgang H. Runde, C-IIAC; Enrique R. Batista, T-1 Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) are regarded as green solvents due to their low volatility, low flammability, and thermal stability. RTILs exhibit wide electrochemical windows, and they show potential as media for a variety of electroplating processes. Therefore, understanding the factors dominating the...

Electrochemical transistors with ionic liquids-DD

Over the past decade conducting polymer electrodes have played an important role in bio-sensing and actuation. Recent developments in the field of organic electronics have made available a variety of devices that bring unique capabilities at the interface with biology. One example is organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) that are being developed for a variety of bio-sensing applications, ...

Single-molecule electrochemical gating in ionic liquids.

The single-molecular conductance of a redox active molecular bridge has been studied in an electrochemical single-molecule transistor configuration in a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL). The redox active pyrrolo-tetrathiafulvalene (pTTF) moiety was attached to gold contacts at both ends through -(CH(2))(6)S- groups, and gating of the redox state was achieved with the electrochemical potenti...

Electrochemical Behavior of Cobaltocene in Ionic Liquids

The electrochemical behavior of cobaltocenium has been studied in a number of room temperature aprotic ionic liquids. Well defined, diffusion controlled, anodic and cathodic peaks were found for the Cc+/Cc (cobaltocenium/cobaltocene) reduction/oxidation on gold, platinum and glassy carbon electrodes. Values of the peak separation parameters suggest quasireversibility or even irreversibility for...
