What is an ion gel?
ion gel is a type of semi -solid compound that retains an electric charge by inserting an ion liquid into the polymer during the drying phase. It is a form of sol gel or xero gel, which are partly liquid, partly solid matrix of compounds with unique properties in material science. These materials are considered to be potential energy storage mechanisms for fuel cells for the construction of electronic components of nanoparticles, such as transistors that have a meter width and more. Such materials offer a unique advantage on a microscopic scale that they have a porous surface area that is much greater than their total weight, making them ideal candidates that volatile or electrically charged elements can bind. The block copolymer, which is a combination of various plastic monomeric compounds with unique physical and chemical characteristics, is performed by the process of hydrolysis condensation with liquid water. Colloidal particles in the mixture prevent ZCEla froze, and instead takes on gel form. As a result, access to the charge of ion or other built -in compounds is more practical and the material can serve as an electrolyte in the absence of water. The elastic properties of the solid substance in the form of a block of the block of the block and the properties of the electrically booting ionic liquid are merged into one compound.
The use of the science of the materials of ionic gel polymer matrix is diverse. The material is able to transform, charged, but is still stable under different conditions of physical or chemical stress. The ion gel can operate at a temperature of up to 482 ° Fahrenheit (250 ° Celsius) and remain stable at temperatures of up to 662 ° Fahrenheit (350 ° Celsius) without degrading. Such gels can also be produced by the diversity of precursor polymer compounds, although seminan compounds commonly used in the production of Sol gels such as alcoxysilan and halogenosilan, usuallythey use. The ionic fluid can also be based on water known as Aqua Gel, alcohol as ALCO gel or other chemicals such as carboxylic acid.
Aero gels are another branch of research in a study of ionic gel compounds. They are also based on the SOL gel production process and have a final product that includes closed ion gas, such as hydrogen used for fuel cells. Common forms of Aero Gel known for consumers and industry include foams such as polystyrene and urethane foam in furniture.
among the applications of ionic gels since 2011 in their various forms, liquid, gaseous and semi -solid components are like luminescent solar concentrators; as dielectric materials for low -voltage, high -performance transistors; And in the variety of advanced energy storage applications. Aero gels types of iongels have the advantage that they are about 95% gas and yet have a solid form, which earns them the lightest solids in the world. Are examined as eNongetic adsorbry, sensors and strong catalytic compounds.
