Nanocolloids are receiving considerable attention in regard to their properties and future
applications, especially as heat transfer fluids and phase change materials for energy …

Hypothesis Some of the most promising fields of application of ionic liquid-based colloids
imply elevated temperatures. Their careful design and analysis is therefore essential. We …

Because of the ever-increasing consumption of energy, higher-efficiency thermoelectric
materials are in more demand. In this regard, initially, Zn x Ni (1–x) Fe2O4 nanoparticles …

Present environmental issues force the research to explore radically new concepts in
sustainable and renewable energy production. In the present work, a functional fluid …

The details of ac-conductivity measurements in a colloidal electrolyte cell with flat control
gate electrodes are discussed. The use of impedance diagnostics in studies of transport …

This paper presents a comprehensive study of two alkylammonium nitrate ionic liquids. As
part of this family of materials, mainly ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) and also …

Ferrofluids based on maghemite nanoparticles (NPs), typically 10 nm in diameter, are
dispersed in an ionic liquid (1-ethyl 3-methylimidazolium bistriflimide–EMIM-TFSI). The …

The consistent interpretation of the equilibrium and simplest transport properties of diluted
liquid electrolytes, the normal and cryogenic ones, by analogy with the observed …

Screening properties of water and its diluted solutions are described with a formalism
treating the behavior of weakly conducting liquids within the theory of reversible chemical …

Single-ion Soret coefficients α i characterize the tendency of ions in an electrolyte solution to
move in a thermal gradient. When these coefficients differ between cations and anions, an …
