In article number 1704049, Xijun Liu, Jun Luo, and co‐workers report an ultrathin MoTe2 nanosheets electrode/ionic liquid electrolyte system for electroreduction of carbon dioxide. This system demonstrates significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activities for methane production with long‐term stability, which synergistically originates from the ultrathin structure and solvent‐assisted contributions...
The electroreduction of CO2 to CH4 is a highly desirable, challenging research topic. In this study, an electrocatalytic system comprising ultrathin MoTe2 layers and an ionic liquid electrolyte for the reduction of CO2 to methane is reported, efficiently affording methane with a faradaic efficiency of 83 ± 3% (similar to the best Cu‐based catalysts reported thus far) and a durable activity of greater...
This work describes a novel ionic liquid (IL)‐assisted synthesis strategy for a direct and easy production of Eu2+‐doped nanoparticles (NPs), where ILs are also used as fluoride sources to avoid the use of elemental fluorine or toxic hydrofluoric acid. Up to now, the direct synthesis of Eu2+‐doped nanophosphors consisted of an enormous challenge, due to the oxidation to Eu3+ observed in hydrous solution,...
In article number 1703707, Claudia Wickleder and co‐workers prevent the formation of Eu3+ during the synthesis of Eu2+ phosphors in the relative redox stable ionic liquid (IL) BmimBF4, and allow the direct precipitation of nanoparticles (NPs) from Eu2+ starting materials. Eu2+ NPs, e.g., BaFCl:Eu2+, are prepared by means of two different synthetic routes in ILs in air.
Herein, a novel graphite–graphite dual ion battery (GGDIB) based on a AlCl3/1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazole Cl ([EMIm]Cl) room temperature ionic liquid electrolyte, using conductive graphite paper as cathode and anode material is developed. The working principle of the GGDIB is investigated, that is, metallic aluminum is deposited/dissolved on the surface of the anode, and chloroaluminate ions are intercalated/deintercalated...
DNA folding is not desirable for solid‐state nanopore techniques when analyzing the interaction of a biomolecule with its specific binding sites on DNA since the signal derived from the binding site could be buried by a large signal from the folding of DNA nearby. To resolve the problems associated with DNA folding, ionic liquids (ILs), which are known to interact with DNA through charge–charge and...
A water‐dissolvable electrolyte is developed by combining an ionic liquid (IL) with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), which decays over time by contact with water. An IL generally consists of two species of ions (anion and cation), and forms an electrical double layer (EDL) of a large electrostatic capacitance due to the ions accumulated in the vicinity of a conductive electrode when voltage is applied....
In article number 1800937, Shunsuke Yamada and Hiroshi Toshiyoshi develop a water‐dissolvable electrolyte by combining ionic liquid with polyvinyl alcohol, which decays in time through contact with water. The test measurement shows a capacitance of 13 μF cm−2 and electrical conductance of 20 μS cm−1. The potential application includes disposable electronics such as distributed sensors and energy harvesters...
