Enforced freedom: electric-field-induced declustering of ionic-liquid ions in the double layer
Yufan Zhang, Ting Ye, Ming Chen +4
Whereas the majority of ions in the bulk of a solvent-free ionic liquid is bound into clusters, this is expected to change in the electrical double layer (EDL), in which the result…
Adding salt to expand voltage window of humid ionic liquids
Ming Chen, Jiedu Wu, Ting Ye +5
Humid hydrophobic ionic liquids, widely used as electrolytes, have narrowed electrochemical windows, because their water, absorbed on the electrode surface, gets involved in electr…
Molecular understanding of charge storage and charging dynamics in supercapacitors with MOF electrodes and ionic liquid electrolytes
Sheng Bi, Ming Chen, Runxi Wang +4
We present a computational microscopy analysis (targeted molecular dynamics simulations) of the structure and performance of conductive metal organic framework (MOF) electrodes in…
Kinetics of Ion Transport in Ionic Liquids: Two Dynamical Diffusion States
Guang Feng, Ming Chen, Sheng Bi +4
Using classical molecular dynamics simulations, we investigate the mobility of ions in [Bmim][TFSI], a typical room temperature ionic liquid. Analyzing the trajectories of individu…
