Enhancing Interfacial Capacitance in Ionic Liquid Electrolyte Blends

The acceleration of climate change due to carbon emissions has generated an imminent need to transition towards renewable energy sources. However, the intermittent nature of renewable sources like wind or solar energy necessitates breakthroughs in energy storage devices that can rapidly charge and discharge. This poster presents research on the improvement of capacitance in ionic liquid electrolytes by tuning electrochemical interfaces.

High-Performance Conductive Nanocomposites Based on CNF/PLA Reinforced by Functionalized Graphene Derivative

This project aims to combine the Brazilian group’s expertise in nanomaterials’ surface engineering and polymer-based nanocomposite with the Spanish group’s expertise in transforming agricultural and industrial waste (which is abundant in both Spain and Brazil) into valued natural source polymers, to incorporate the intrinsic properties of sustainable materials into nanocomposites for advanced applications.

Mass spectrometry-based methods for analysis of ionic liquid species

The synthesis and use of ionic liquids (ILs) has increased steadily since their inception, driven by their distinctive useful properties. In cases where they replace harmful volatile organic solvents they are often considered “green” and in cases where they are recyclable, they may be considered sustainable. However, many of the properties—such as low volatility and stability—that make them attractive for applications also make them potential persistent contaminants, should they be released into the environment.
