Research in the field of ionic liquids (ILs) has increased since their initial discovery in 1914 by Paul Walden. Ionic liquids, salts in liquid state, are frequently described as being liquid below an arbitrary value of 100°C…
Highly conductive, flexible polymer electrolyte membrane based on poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate-co-thiosiloxane network
An amorphous co-network consisting of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and thiosiloxane was prepared by means of thiol-ene “click” reaction to…
Highly cross-linked polyether-based 1,2,3-triazolium ion conducting membranes with enhanced gas separation properties
A series of cross-linked polyether-based 1,2,3-triazolium ion conducting membranes are prepared via the combination of thermally promoted Huisgen 1,3-dipolar…
Phosphazene High Polymers and Models with Cyclic Aliphatic Side Groups: New Structure–Property Relationships
Poly(dichlorophosphazene) is a versatile precursor material for accessing new polymeric materials via the introduction of various side groups by chlorine…
Toward a Materials Genome Approach for Ionic Liquids
The Materials Genome Approach (MGA) aims to accelerate development of new materials by incorporating computational and data-driven approaches to reduce the cost of identification.
Understanding the effect of side groups in ionic liquids on carbon-capture properties
Ionic liquids are an emerging class of materials with applications in a variety of fields. Steady progress has been made in the creation of ionic liquids.
Copolymer-templated nitrogen-enriched porous nanocarbons for CO2 capture
Nitrogen-enriched porous carbon materials made via the carbonization of polyacrylonitrile containing block copolymer act as efficient and highly selective CO2 sorbents.
