New paper published in Journal of Molecular Liquids on binary ionic liquid supercapacitors

New paper published in Journal of Molecular Liquids on binary ionic liquid supercapacitors. There is much to learn from simulation when it comes to understanding nanoscaled ion electrosorption of ions within carbon nanopores. Especially when it comes to the behavior of ionic-liquid-based supercapacitors which promise an extended potential window, and consequently, enhanced energy ratings. Ionic liquids, in absence of a solvent, and with enhanced ion-ion interactions, present an intriguing model system to study size effects in more complex electrolytes with more than just one cation. Our findings, combining simulation and experimental data, reveal the enhanced capacitance of single nanopores and nanoporous electrodes using binary electrolytes. 🔬⚡
