The world's first thousand-ton-scale ionic liquid-based regenerated cellulose fiber project has officially commenced operations in Henan Province, China. Developed by the Institute of Process ...

In the first of three episodes on electrolysis, Dr Sunayana Bhargava and Tulela Pea explore electrolysis of molten ionic compounds. They define electrodes and electrolytes. Suitable for: AQA, Edexcel, ...

"Follow the water" has been a guiding mantra of astrobiology, and even space exploration more generally, for decades. If you want to find life, it makes sense to look for the universal solvent that ...

EUCHEM 2016 will address scientists from all over the world in the areas of molten salts and ionic liquids, covering aspects of fundamental science towards application driven and applied research in ...

Ionic liquids (ILs) possess unique properties that make them highly attractive for a range of applications (Box 1). As solvent media for materials synthesis, their high thermal stability and their ...

Add your subjects to find the right study guides, track progress and keep everything in one place. Calcium will form at the cathode and chlorine will form at the anode. This is because positive ...

Chemists in China and Switzerland have designed a robust and efficient dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) based on a solvent-free mixture of three imidazolium compounds (Nat. Mater., DOI: ...

A new composite ionic liquid (IL) alkylation process has been proven in a pilot plant and retrofitted into an existing 65,000-tonne/year H2SO4 alkylation unit in China. This article discusses the new ...

The chemical bond formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another is called ionic bond. It is also known as electrovalent bond. And the compounds containing ionic bonds are called ionic ...

In theory, batteries and capacitors are fairly simple. One stores energy chemically and the other stores energy in an electric field. In practice though, building an energy storage device that has a ...
