Aqueous electrolytes are very effective for supercapacitor applications but their narrow electrochemical potential window (∼1 V) and associated limited energy currently limits use. Here, we demonstrate a new strategy to enlarge the by designing an artificial interface ( ai ). An was achieved via mixture of siloxanes doped with ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfony...

The performance of mesoporous carbon capsules as electrode materials in electrochemical double layer capacitors (EDLCs) was evaluated in the presence of a variety of electrolytes, including room temperature ionic liquids (ILs).

A systematic study was carried out to investigate the effect of ionic liquid in solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) and its layer morphology on the characteristics of an electrochemical amperometric nitrogen dioxide sensor. Five different ionic liquids were immobilized into a solid polymer electrolyte and key sensor parameters (sensitivity, response/recovery times, hysteresis and limit of detection...

Parahydrogen-induced polarization was observed in the gas phase heterogeneous hydrogenation of propyne catalyzed by Pd(0) nanoparticles embedded in an ionic liquid phase supported on activated carbon fibers (Pd(0)/SILP/ACF). The results were markedly different from those obtained with a reference catalyst, Pd(0)/ACF, demonstrating the important role of the ionic liquid.

Power density, electrode potential, coulombic efficiency, and energy recovery in single-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were examined as a function of solution ionic strength, electrode spacing and composition, and temperature. Increasing the solution ionic strength from 100 to 400 mM by adding NaCl increased power output from 720 to 1330 mW/m2. Power generation was also increased from 720 ...

Encapsulated ionic liquid (ENIL) material was developed, consisting of ionic liquid (IL) introduced into carbon submicrocapsules. ENILs contain >85% w/w of IL but discretized in submicroscopic encapsulated drops, drastically increasing the surface contact area with respect to the neat fluid. ENIL materials were here tested for gas separation processes, obtaining a drastic increase in mass trans...

The electrochemical behavior of tiamulin fumarate (TF) at ionic liquid N-Butylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate (BPPF6) modified carbon paste electrode (BPPF6/CPE) was investigated and further used for tiamulin fumarate sample determination. BPPF6/CPE showed an enhanced electrochemical response towards the electrochemical oxidation of TF. A well-defined and sensitive oxidation peak was observed at...

A new electrochemical sensor was fabricated by using ionic liquid (IL) 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (OMIMPF6) modified carbon paste electrode (denoted as IL-CPE). The electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Due to the presence of high conductive IL in the carbon paste electrode, IL-CPE exhibit...

Neste trabalho, líquido iônico hexaflúor-fosfato de 1-butil-3-metilimidazólio (BMIMPF6), em temperatura ambiente, foi usado como ligante na fabricação de um eletrodo líquido iônico de carbono (CILE). Hemoglobina (Hb) foi imobilizada na superfície de CILE com argila e um filme composto por polivinil álcool (PVA) pelo método camada por camada. Espectros de UV-Vis e FT-IR mostraram que Hb no filme...
