Summary: Electrodeposition of pure aluminum on copper and nickel substrates from an ionic liquid at room temperature was successfully achieved, resulting in dense and homogeneous aluminum deposits with nanocrystalline structure. The process exhibited a quasi-reversible reaction with current affected by both charge transfer and mass transport. Additionally, the deposition rate and grain size could be significantly improved by adjusting the applied cathodic potential.

Summary: In this study, the performance of iron trifluoride (FeF3) in multiple types of ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes was significantly improved, particularly in terms of cycling stability at both room temperature and elevated temperatures. The IL electrolytes formed a protective and ionically conductive cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) layer during cycling, reducing side reactions. Additionally, the ILs exhibited higher ionic conductivity and lower viscosity at elevated temperatures, enabling higher accessible capacity.

Summary: In this study, the temperature dependence of the triplet positronium (ortho-Ps) lifetime in N,N,N-Trimethyl-N-propylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (TMPA-TFSI) was investigated. The results showed that at 150℃, there was a difference in the ortho-Ps lifetime between the near-surface and bulk regions, indicating the presence of a molecular oriented structure on the surface. The ortho-Ps lifetimes became shorter as the temperature increased in both the near-surface and bulk regions, except for water.

Summary: MXenes show excellent capacitance in sulfuric acid aqueous electrolytes at high scan rates, but are limited by the narrow potential window. Organic electrolytes and room-temperature ionic liquids offer higher potential windows for increased energy density. Intercalation of alkylammonium cations into Ti3C2Tx can enhance specific capacitances and cycling stabilities, leading to high energy density in neat EMIMTFSI RTIL electrolytes.

Summary: This study proposes a new method for evaluating the distribution of water at a microscopic scale inside polymers and composite materials. Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy (SECM) experiments are conducted in a dry Room Temperature Ionic Liquid (RTIL) to detect water molecules from previously water-immersed organic matrix composites. The electrochemical signal at the SECM tip, sensitive to the amount of surrounding water, is affected by the presence of water due to its influence on the viscosity of the RTIL. Multiple water profiles of dry, semi-saturated, and saturated composite samples are obtained and compared.
