Summary
The proposed special issue will focus on the design, synthesis, characterization, and device-level integration of PIL-based electrolytes aimed at high-performance, safe, and durable electrochemical capacitors. It will highlight how the unique ion-rich, tunable structures of PILs can overcome the limitations of conventional liquid, gel, and solid polymer electrolytes in terms of ionic conductivity, electrochemical stability, operating temperature range, and interfacial compatibility with diverse electrode materials. The scope will encompass fundamental studies on new PIL chemistries (cation/anion design, polymerizable ionic liquids, block and random PIL copolymers, PIL networks and gels), structure–property–performance relationships, and transport mechanisms of ions in neat PILs and PIL-based hybrid or composite electrolytes. Contributions on advanced characterization (spectroscopy, scattering, microscopy, in situ/operando diagnostics) and multiscale modelling or simulations that provide molecular-level insight into ion dynamics, charge storage at PIL/electrode interfaces, and stability under realistic device conditions are strongly encouraged.
