Jan. 17, 2018 Ionic Liquids: nanostructuration and multiscale transport properties. Technological consequences for batteries.
The remarkable chemical and electrochemical stability of Ionic Liquids (ILs) makes them excellent candidates for the development of energy storage systems meeting strict criteria to battery safety in particular combustion. Bringing together three independent probes (neutrons, NMR and light-scattering), we conduct a detailed multiscale analysis of the cation self-diffusion process from the molecul…
