Transparent ionic liquid-phenol resin hybrids with high ionic conductivity

Quantum dots-ionic liquid hybrids: efficient extraction of cationic CdTe nanocrystals into an ionic liquid.

Water soluble CdTe nanocrystals covered with cationic thiol derivatives are efficiently transferred into a hydrophobic ionic liquid, in which they show enhanced photoluminescence.

Ionic liquid pillar[5]arene: its ionic conductivity and solvent-free complexation with a guest.

A room-temperature ionic liquid containing macrocyclic compound pillar[5]arene in its core was synthesized. The ionic liquid showed high thermal stability, moderate ionic conductivity and solvent-free complexation ability with the guest tetracyanoethylene.

Cross-Linked Block Copolymer/Ionic Liquid Self-Assembled Blends for Polymer Gel Electrolytes with High Ionic Conductivity and Mechanical Strength

Poly(propylene oxide)−poly(ethylene oxide)−poly(propylene oxide) (PPO−PEO−PPO) block copolymers (BCPs) with cross-linkable end groups were synthesized, blended with an ionic liquid (IL) diluent, and cross-linked to form polymer gel electrolytes. The IL prevented crystallization of PEO at high concentrations, enabling fast ion transport. In addition, the IL was selective for the PEO block, induc...

Friedel-Crafts alkylation of Phenol using Ionic Liquid as Catalyst

Stretchable, transparent, ionic conductors.

Existing stretchable, transparent conductors are mostly electronic conductors. They limit the performance of interconnects, sensors, and actuators as components of stretchable electronics and soft machines. We describe a class of devices enabled by ionic conductors that are highly stretchable, fully transparent to light of all colors, and capable of operation at frequencies beyond 10 kilohertz ...
