Bipolar Supercapacitive Performance of N-Containing Carbon Materials Derived from Covalent Triazine-Based Framework.

The search for new electrode materials for bipolar-supercapacitor performance is the intention of numerous research in the area of functional framework materials. Among various electrode materials, covalent triazine-based frameworks (CTFs) are in the spotlight drawing much attention as potential electrode material for energy storage owing to their tunable surface area, pore size distribution, and heteroatom content. Herein, we present the synthesis of nitrogen-functionalized CTFs marked as CTF-Py-600 and CTF-Py-700 with high nitrogen content (18 % and 14 %, respectively) for supercapacitor application by applying the 2,6-dicyanopyridine monomer via the polymerization reaction under ionothermal condition.

Aggregation control of Ru and Ir nanoparticles by tunable aryl alkyl imidazolium ionic liquids.

Metal-nanoparticles (M-NPs) were synthesized in a wet-chemical synthesis route in tunable aryl alkyl ionic liquids (TAAILs) based on the 1-aryl-3-alkyl-substituted imidazolium motif from Ru(CO) and Ir(CO) by microwave-heating induced thermal decomposition. The size and size dispersion of the NPs were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to an average diameter of 2.2(±0.

Synthesis of rare-earth metal and rare-earth metal-fluoride nanoparticles in ionic liquids and propylene carbonate.

Decomposition of rare-earth tris(,'-diisopropyl-2-methylamidinato)metal(III) complexes [RE{MeC(N(iPr))}] (RE(amd); RE = Pr(III), Gd(III), Er(III)) and tris(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionato)europium(III) (Eu(dpm)) induced by microwave heating in the ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF]), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([BMIm][NTf]) and in propylene carbonate (PC) yield oxide-free rare-earth metal nanoparticles (RE-NPs) in [BMIm][NTf] and PC for RE = Pr, Gd and Er or rare-earth metal-fluoride nanoparticles (REF-NPs) in the fluoride-donating IL [BMIm][BF] for RE = Pr, Eu, Gd and Er. The crystalline phases and the absence of significant oxide impurities in RE-NPs and REF-NPs were verified by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The size distributions of the nanoparticles were determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) to an average diameter of (11 ± 6) to (38 ± 17) nm for the REF-NPs from [BMIm][BF].
