Spectroelectrochemical studies of electrochromic diarylethene ionic Liquids: From solution to ionogel based devices

Graphene based flexible electrochromic devices

Graphene emerges as a viable material for optoelectronics because of its broad optical response and gate-tunable properties. For practical applications, however, single layer graphene has performance limits due to its small optical absorption defined by fundamental constants. Here, we demonstrated a new class of flexible electrochromic devices using multilayer graphene (MLG) which simultaneousl...

Spectroelectrochemical Studies of Metalloporphyrins in Room Temperature Ionic Liquid

SPECTROELECTROCHEMICAL STUDIES OF METALLOPORPHYRINS IN ROOM TEMPERATURE IONIC LIQUID Yong Soo Hoo, B.A., M.S. Marquette University, 2010 The oxidation/reduction reactions of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins play an important role in medicinal, industrial and biochemical reactions. Metalloporphyrins are particularly useful as potential catalysts for a variety of processes including catalytic oxi...

Electronic structure studies of tetrazolium-based ionic liquids.

New energetic ionic liquids are investigated as potential high energy density materials. Ionic liquids are composed of large, charge-diffuse cations, coupled with various (usually oxygen containing) anions. In this work, calculations have been performed on the tetrazolium cation with a variety of substituents. Density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP functional, using the 6-311G(d,p) basi...

Glycoside-Based Ionic Liquids

Ionogel fibres of bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion-based ionic liquids for the headspace solid-phase microextraction of chlorinated organic pollutants.

Ionogels, a family of hybrid materials in which ionic liquids (ILs) are confined in a sol-gel network, are receiving much attention in a variety of scientific and technological fields. In this work, ionogels derived from three different ILs based on the anion bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TFSI), namely 1-butyl-3-methylpyridinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide ([C4C1Py][TFSI]), 1-butyl...
