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 …

Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

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 are pure salts that are liquid under ambient conditions. As liquids composed
solely of ions, the scientific consensus has been that ionic liquids have exceedingly high …

Ionic liquids (ILs), salts with melting points below 100° C, represent a fascinating class of
liquid materials typically characterized by an extremely low vapor pressure. Besides their …

Ionic liquids are emerging as promising new electrolytes for supercapacitors. While their
higher operating voltages allow the storage of more energy than organic electrolytes, they …

We develop the theory of the electrical double layer in ionic liquids as proposed earlier by
Kornyshev (2007). In the free energy function we keep the so called 'short-range correlation …

Research on the effects of applied electrical potential on friction and wear, a topic
sometimes termed “Triboelectrochemistry”, has been reviewed. Historically, most such …

Room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) are solvent with unusual properties, which are
difficult to characterize experimentally because of their intrinsic complexity (large number of …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are room temperature molten salts that possess preeminent
physicochemical properties and have shown great potential in many applications. However …
