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 ...

Researchers developed a green synthesis strategy using ionic liquids to control gold aerogel structure, boosting recyclability and catalytic degradation of pollutants. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Metal ...

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 ...

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 ...
