The composite solid polymer electrolyte (SPE), a soft copolymer reinforced with cellulose nanofibers, provides both high ionic conductivity and stiffness to suppress dendrite growth, thereby enabling high-energy-density lithium metal batteries.
An imidazolium-carboxylate-type zwitterion, OE2imC3C, thermally stabilizes protein pharmaceuticals.
We studied the pretreatment abilities of an ionic liquid and a zwitterionic liquid. The low pretreatment ability of the zwitterionic liquid evaluated was based on its high viscosity.
We here established rapid screening methods for toxicity of zwitterions and investigated the toxicity to growth and fermentation.
A methodology of viscosity reduction that did not compromise the advantages of zwitterionic ionic liquids was developed by tethering the cation and anion with a flexible oligoether.
