Overview
Focusing on the electrochemistry of ionic liquids, Electrochemical Aspects of Ionic Liquids examines the fundamentals and electrochemical applications of ionic liquid. This professional-oriented book provides the latest data for engineers and researchers in relevant industry as well as academic scientists and graduate students. The book starts with the importance and fundamental properties of ionic liquids, followed by a more general review of electrochemical processes, and finally covers some highly specialized and novel developments such as Ionic Liquidized DNA.Synopsis
Ionic liquids, the salts having very low melting temperature, show very high ionic conductivity, nonvolatility, and nonflammability and thus offer many applications for electrochemistry, not the least of which is design for greater safety. Assuming a basic knowledge of electrochemistry, Ohno (biotechnology, Tokyo U. of Agriculture and Technology, Japan) presents 32 papers assessing these applications and discussing the properties of different ionic liquids. The papers are organized into sections dealing uses in basic electrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry, ionic devices, functional design of ionic liquids, ionic liquids in ordered structures, gel-type polymer electrolytes, and polymerized ionic liquids.
