Our research program is built on developing experimental approaches to understand the physical, electrochemical and transport properties of ionic liquids and deep eutectic solvents, and applying these ...

New research shows the key role of thermal fluctuations in sustaining the 'relay race' of charges needed to maintain electrical current in room temperature ionic liquids. A collaborative ...

The Salt Lake City unit, the first commercial ionic liquid-based alkylation unit to be installed in the US, has a capacity of about 5,000 barrels of alkylate per day. Chevron ran a demonstration ...

Ionic liquid uniformly delivers chemotherapy to tumors while destroying cancerous tissue Date: February 11, 2021 Source: Mayo Clinic Summary: Vascular and interventional radiologists report the ...

Poisonous mercury in thermometers has been replaced by harmless and better performing ionic liquids in research by scientists from Europe and the US, published in the Royal Society of Chemistry ...

Ionic liquids are salts that remain in a liquid state at room temperature or even at relatively low temperatures due to strong electrical interactions between their ions. Unlike common salts ...

A way of dissolving hard-to-recycle plastics like nylon and Kevlar back to their chemical building blocks has been demonstrated by Japanese researchers. The team thinks refinements to the process ...

Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts in liquid form and already have a wide range of applications, from use in drug delivery to fuel cells and batteries. Robin Rogers of Queen's University of Belfast, UK ...
