To determine the temperature dependence of the mutual solubility of a polymer and a solvent, the Gibbs free energy of mixing (ΔG mix) is considered that is expressed by the following relation ...

Ionic liquids are salts with melting points below 100 oC and are therefore liquids at lower temperatures than other salts. The materials can have useful physical properties, such as low or non ...

A new in-situ method capable of probing the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formation mechanism and stability is reported ... brought in to efficiently screen the electric field, the ionic ratio ...

Confinement can induce unusual behavior in the properties of matter. Using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, we report here a liquid-to-solid transition of a bilayer of ionic liquid ...

The reaction of NaBH4 with RuCl3 dissolved in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMI.PF6) ionic liquid is a simple and reproducible ... particles isolated after catalysis indicated the ...
