Polyelectrolyte brushes (PEBs) undergo conformational transitions due to changes in pH and/or ionic strength, which is leveraged as smart surfaces and on-demand drug-release systems. However, probing conformational transitions of functional PEBs has remained challenging due to low spatiotemporal resolution of characterization methods. Herein, fluorescently-coupled PEBs are devised that give rise to Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) intrinsically coupled to conformational transitions of chains.

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are emerged as a promising alternative for sustainable energy storage, offering advantages such as safety, low cost, and environmental friendliness. However, conventional aqueous electrolytes in ZIBs face significant challenges, including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and zinc dendrite formation, compromising their cycling stability and safety. These limitations necessitate innovative electrolyte solutions to enhance ZIB performance while maintaining sustainability.

Growing emission of environmentally-hazardous greenhouse pollutants (especially CO) has motivated the researchers to apply gas-liquid membrane contactors as an easy-to-operate and cost-effective technique for increasing their separation efficiency from different sources. In the current decades, ionic liquids (ILs) have shown their potential in the gas separation industry owing to their noteworthy advantages such as great capacity, excellent adjustability and suitable thermal/chemical stability compared to commonly-employed amine absorbents. This investigation aims to analytically/numerically determine the separation yield of CO from CO₂/N gaseous flow using novel -Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([emim][CN]) IL inside the gas-liquid contactor.

The application of ionic liquid electrolytes in ultrafast supercapacitors to achieve wide electrochemical operating windows and high electrochemical stability is highly applauded. However, the strong Coulomb interaction between ions leads to the overscreening effect and slow establishment process of the electrical double layer (EDL), which deteriorates the rate performance of supercapacitors. Herein, inspired by Coulomb's law and EDL transient dynamics, we introduce competitive hydrogen bond interactions into typical ionic-liquid electrolytes to weaken the Coulomb interaction between ions.
