Ionic Liquids – New Prospects for More Sustainable Energy Technologies
Electrochemistry and Electrolytes
A relatively low-viscosity, non-flammable liquid showing electric conductivity and wide electrochemical windows: this is a combination of properties not achievable with any other material than ionic liquids. Some examples where ionic liquids offer new opportunities:
higher efficiency and safety in lithium ion batteries
higher capacities and safety in supercapacitors
electrolytes in dye-sensitized solar cells
"Ionic liquids contain only ions! Best choice for electrochemistry and surrounding scientific fields. Why don't you try to use them?"
