Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as potential lubricants in 2001. Subsequently, there has
been tremendous research interest in ILs from the tribology society since their discovery as …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special category of molten salts solely composed of ions with varied
molecular symmetry and charge delocalization. The versatility in combining varied cation …

Much of chemistry is concerned with the study of reactions and processes in solution, that is,
where liquids are used as solvents. 2, 3 The solvent is the (excess) liquid phase in which …

The field of ionic liquds is growing significantly, with an increased focus on developing ionic
liquds for specific applications, along with fundamental research. By definition, ionic liquids …

Friction is undoubtedly one of the most common yet intriguing physical phenomena
encountered in our daily lives. It would be impossible to play a stringed instrument or write …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are attractive solvents for devices such as lithium ion batteries and
capacitors, but their uptake is limited, partially because their Stern layer nanostructure is …

Graphene oxide (GO) and anatase TiO 2 are tried as lubricating additives for nanofluids due
to their unique structure and physical properties. In this article, anatase TiO 2 modified GO …

Complete removal of water from room-temperature ionic liquids is nearly impossible. For the
electrochemical applications of ionic liquids, how water is distributed in the electrical double …

Atomic force microscopy measurements reveal that superlubricity can be “switched” on and
off in situ when an ionic liquid is used to lubricate the silica–graphite interface. Applying a …

Herein we demonstrate that ionic liquids can form long-lived double layers, generating
electric fields detectable by straightforward open circuit potential (OCP) measurements. In …
