Electric Field Induced Associations in the Double Layer of Salt-in-Ionic-Liquid Electrolytes Ionic liquids (ILs) are an extremely exciting class of electrolytes for energy storage applications because of their unique combination of properties. Upon dissolving alkali metal salts, such as Li or Na based salts, with the same anion as the IL, an intrinsically asymmetric electrolyte can be created for use in batteries, known as a salt-in-ionic liquid (SiIL).

WALTHAM, Mass. – Eleven members of the Bentley football team combined for 12 All-Northeast-10 honors, including the NE10 Most Valuable Player, the conference announced Thursday. Graduate student linebacker Sal Lupoli, Jr. was named the conference MVP after leading the nation in tackles per game (12.3). He also led the NE10 in tackles-for-a-loss, tied the Bentley record for tackles in a season (123), and became the school's all-time leading tackler (337). Click HERE for more about Lupoli.

Abstract Conventional lithium-ion batteries, and many next-generation technologies, rely on organic electrolytes with multiple solvents to achieve the desired physicochemical and interfacial properties. The complex interplay between these properties can often be elucidated via the coordination environment of the cation. We develop a theory for the coordination shell of cations in nonaqueous solvent mixtures that can be applied with high fidelity, up to extremely high salt concentrations.
