Abstract The excessive nano‐fillers in gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) would trend to agglomeration, which will have adverse effect on the electrochemical performance. Modifying surface properties of be an effective way for resolving problem. In this paper, ionic liquid (IL), (1‐(trimethoxysilylpropyl)‐3‐butylimidazole bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [CPIM]TFSI) is grafted onto dendritic mes...

Reversible Mg deposition/stripping and O2 reduction/evolution on a Pt film electrode in neat O2-saturated 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (BMP-TFSI) electrolytes, containing Mg(TFSI)2 and/or Mg(BH4)2 as source well the crown ether 18-c-6 additive, were investigated by online differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS) scanning electron microscopy/energ...

Four platinum(II) complexes bearing a boron-based PBP pincer ligand and chloride, hydride, triflate, and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide were synthesized and structurally characterized. PBP-platinum chloride was proven to be an active catalyst for the hydrosilylation reaction using 1-decene and triethylsilane.

Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces (SLIPS) are a relatively new and promising development in the surface engineering world. Bio-inspired with superior omniphobicity robustness, SLIPS have enjoyed success several scientific applications, spanning multiple industries from marine environment to medical field. Inorganic fouling is one such challenge managed overcome by disrupting both depositi...

The hole transport material (HTM) of organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) plays a very important role for achieving high power conversion efficiency and long-term stability. 2,2’,7,7’-tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9-9’-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) is the first solid-state HTM used in PVSCs has gained tremendous attention during last decade. Herein, concept spirolinkage sy...

Non-Newtonian fluids include a variety of regularly encountered substances such as custard, honey, toothpaste, starch suspensions (including from corn starch), paint, blood, melted butter, and hairspray. For decades, scientists have investigated non-Newtonian fluid behavior produced models to aid in the characterization behavior. In addition data interpolation extrapolation, outputs these may b...

The ionic liquid (2-hydroxyethylammonium)trimethylammonium) bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (choline bistriflimide) was obtained as a supercooled liquid at room temperature (melting point=30 degrees C). Crystals of choline bistriflimide suitable for structure determination were grown from the melt in situ on the X-ray diffractometer. The choline cation adopts a folded conformation, whereas th...

The wetting behavior of ionic liquids (ILs) on the mesoscopic scale considerably impacts a wide range scientific fields and technologies. Particularly under vacuum conditions, these materials exhibit unique characteristics. This work explores effect deposition rate substrate temperature nucleation, droplet formation, spreading ILs films obtained by thermal evaporation. Four were studied, encomp...
