Lithium salts are one of the main components in every lithium-ion battery. For battery safety, performance and stability, it is paramount to ensure that the correct materials are used. Hence, reliable ...

Freshly dried IL was charged with the solution of respective monomer and initiator—2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (0.1 wt% for AN; 0.5 wt% for MMA). The mass ratio between the monomer and the IL was 1:1.

A TEAM OF CHEMISTS from the University of California, Davis, has synthesized and isolated oxatriquinane and oxatriquinacene, the first water-stable versions of normally highly reactive alkyl oxonium ...

A research group shows, using computer simulations, that ions do not always behave as expected. In their research on molten salts, they were able to see that, in some cases, the ions in the salt ...

Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable, have a high energy storage capacity, and exhibit minimal loss of charge when not in use. In our day-to-day lives, we enjoy the benefits of this technology. We ...
