The utilization of ionic liquids (ILs) as electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries is of great academic and industrial significance. Previous studies have shown that clusters can be formed in IL electrolytes. However, the influence of clusters on [Li] solvation and transport is still ambiguous, especially under external electric fields. The structural...

A novel biphasic organic solvent, 2-phenoxyethanol (EPH) was introduced to pretreat and fractionate rice straw into glucose/glucan, xylose/xylan and lignin under mild conditions. In addition, the combined severity factor (CSF) was used to evaluate the effect of pretreatment severity on the composition variation of rice straw. Under the biphasic sys...
Graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) are often used to produce exfoliated or functionalised graphene related materials (GRMs) in a specific solvent. This study explores the formation of the Na-tetrahydrofuran (THF)-GIC and a new ternary system based on dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Detailed comparisons of in situ temperature dependent XRD with TGA-M...

Brosted acidic pyridinium-based ILs of [NS] [CF3SO3] and [NS] [HSO4] have been synthesized for oligomerization of isobutene with the excellent conversion of 92.8% and the good selective dimerization at the temperature of below 100 degrees C. Hydroxyl-containing materials, especially ethanol, could facilitate catalytic activities to excellent conver...

Ionogels are an emerging class of soft material with exceptional properties stemming from high ionic liquid content. In contrast to other gel systems, the ionic liquid component provides an extra level of design. However, this highly modular nature has yet to be fully explored and the role ionic liquids play in the structural properties of gel-base...
