What causes the low viscosity of ether-functionalized ionic liquids? Its dependence on the increase of free volume by Chen, Zhengjian, Xue, Tong, Lee, Jong-Min

“…In addition to the ability of the alkoxy chains to decrease viscosity (ηO/η, as low as 0.594) and its activation energy (ΔEη, as low as -4.14 kJ mol−1), they were also found to be able to increase the total free volume (ΔFVO, up to 4.93 mL mol−1), by using density and surface tension. …”

Selective and Chemical-Free Removal of Toxic Heavy Metal Cations from Water Using Shock Ion Extraction by Alkhadra, Mohammad A, Jordan, Matthew L, Tian, Huanhuan, Arges, Christopher G, Bazant, Martin Z

“…In this study, we developed a new process called shock ion extraction (shock IX) for selective and chemical-free removal of toxic heavy metals from water. Shock IX is a hybrid process that combines shock electrodialysis (shock ED) and ion exchange using an ion exchange resin wafer (IERW), and this method can be thought of functionally as an electrochemically assisted variation of traditional ion exchange. …”
