Ph.D. Defense|Ionic liquid/surfactant mixtures as multi-functional electrolytes for graphene-based supercapacitors, by Sima Lashkari
You are welcome to join the department as Sima Lashkari defends her Ph.D. thesis, which explores a newly discovered approach which utilizes non-ionic surfactants to deliver non-surface active, hydrophobic ILs to the surface of dispersed graphene oxide (GO) and rGO. When these IL decorated sheets are cast as electrodes, the adsorbed layer is expected to define the electrolyte-filled pore space, potentially maximizing the electrode capacitance.
