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 …

Structural superlubricity, a state of ultralow friction and wear between crystalline surfaces, is
a fundamental phenomenon in modern tribology that defines a new approach to lubrication …

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 …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely investigated as novel solvents, electrolytes, and soft
functional materials. Nevertheless, the widespread applications of ILs in most cases have …

Until recently,“room-temperature”(< 100− 150 C) liquidstate electrochemistry was mostly
electrochemistry of diluted electrolytes 1− 4 where dissolved salt ions were surrounded by a …

Room-temperature ionic liquids and their mixtures with organic solvents as lubricants open
a route to control lubricity at the nanoscale via electrical polarization of the sliding surfaces …

In modern electric equipment, especially electric vehicles, inverter control systems can lead
to complex shaft voltages and bearing currents. Within an electric motor, many parts have …
