Electrical and electrochemical properties of imidazolium and phosphonium-based pNIPAAM ionogels
Electrochimica Acta, 2020 The electrical and electrochemical properties of two ionogel materials based on the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate and trihexyltetradecyl-phosphonium dicyanamide ionic liquids are investigated. The current-voltage curves show a current rectification for both ionogels and ionic liquids after inducing ion ...
