Monoclinic Li3V2(PO4)3 (LVP) has long been considered primarily as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, due to its amphoteric nature, LVP can also host additional lithium ions. Nonetheless, its use as an anode material for LIBs has hardly been investigated. In this work, we synthesize a nanostructured Li3V2(PO4)3 material with an ionic liquid-derived carbon coating and ...

The phase behavior of the ternary ionic liquid system 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate ([bmim][NO3]) + carbon dioxide (CO2) + water (H2O) was studied experimentally using a synthetic method. Bubble-point pressures are measured for carbon dioxide concentrations ranging from 5 to 30 mole%, water concentrations ranging from 2 to 20 mole% and within a temperature range of 293 to 368 K. Thereafte...

Electrochemical oxidation of 2’-deoxyguanosine-5’-triphosphate (dGTP) was investigated on the ionic liquid modified carbon paste microelectrode by cyclic voltammetry in this paper. The carbon ionic liquid microelectrode (mCILE) was prepared with ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate ([Emim][EtOSO3]) as the modifier. Then the electrochemical process of dGTP on the mCILE was recor...

Nanoporous carbon-based supercapacitors store electricity through adsorption of ions from the electrolyte at the surface of the electrodes. Room temperature ionic liquids, which show the largest ion concentrations among organic liquid electrolytes, should in principle yield larger capacitances. Here, we show by using electrochemical measurements that the capacitance is not significantly affecte...

Screen-printed graphite electrodes (SPGEs) have been used for the first time as platforms to detect oxygen gas in room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Up until now, carbon-based SPEs have shown inferior behaviour compared to platinum and gold SPEs for gas sensing with RTIL solvents. The electrochemical reduction of oxygen (O₂) in a range of RTILs has therefore been explored on home-made SPGE...

Airway surface liquid (ASL) contains substances important in mucociliary clearance and airway defense. Little is known about substance concentrations in ASL because of its small volume and sampling difficulties. We used in vivo microdialysis (IVMD) to sample liquid lining the nasal cavity without net volume removal and incorporated into IVMD a potential difference (PD) electrode to assess airwa...
