摘要
从能量存储和转换设备到电镀和腐蚀控制,电化学就在我们身边,并不断发展,推动边界和探索新的领域。其中一个令人兴奋的途径是非常规电解质的电化学探索,这是本特刊的主题,其中包括毛炳伟和杨佳伟,Björn Braunschweig, Paramaconi Rodríguez, Ludwig Kibler和Kenta Motobayashi的五组杰出贡献。由于水的无所不在和易于处理,水性电解质一直是电化学系统的首选,并且仍然是最常用的选择。然而,人们越来越多地关注非传统电解质,包括离子液体、深共晶溶剂、有机溶剂、熔盐和固体电解质。它们都提供了独特的机会,但也挑战了我们目前对电极-电解质界面结构及其如何影响电化学过程的理解。这个特别的集合旨在突出使用非常规电解质进行的电化学的最新进展,新颖的见解和新兴趋势。本文所包含的文章全面概述了我们对这一快速发展领域的基本理解的最新进展。这些贡献涵盖了离子液体和深层共晶中电极-电解质界面的结构,以及其他非常规电解质(有机溶剂,固体电解质和盐水),以及二氧化碳还原和阴极腐蚀等应用。非常规电解质的应用是深远的。通过对替代电解质系统的探索,储能装置取得了重大进展。事实上,锂离子电池和其他先进的电池和超级电容器都需要使用非水溶剂。非水环境下纳米级电化学过程的研究也为催化和传感器的开发开辟了新的途径。此外,由于非常规电解质的使用,电化学合成领域发生了革命性的变化,使复杂有机化合物的合成和可持续化学过程的发展成为可能。在这个特别的集合中编译的文章提供了有价值的见解,在这些系统中控制电化学现象的基本原理,并为未来的突破和应用铺平了道路。我们希望它们能成为对这一迷人领域感兴趣的科学家、工程师和学生的宝贵资源。在结束这篇社论之前,我们要对所有作者的杰出贡献和审稿人的细致评估和建设性反馈表示衷心的感谢。他们的专业知识和奉献精神确保了本系列文章的质量和相关性。作者声明无利益冲突。
From energy storage and conversion devices to electroplating and corrosion control, electrochemistry is all around us and continues to evolve, pushing boundaries and exploring new frontiers. One such exciting avenue is the exploration of electrochemistry in non-conventional electrolytes, which is the topic of this Special Collection containing five excellent contributions from the groups of Bingwei Mao and Jiawei Yang, Björn Braunschweig, Paramaconi Rodríguez, Ludwig Kibler, and Kenta Motobayashi.
Aqueous electrolytes have been the preferred, and remain the most frequent, choice for electrochemical systems, due to the ubiquity and ease of handling of water. However, attention is increasingly turning to non-conventional electrolytes, which include ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, organic solvents, molten salts, and solid electrolytes. They all present unique opportunities but also challenge our current understanding of the structure of electrode-electrolyte interfaces and how it affects electrochemical processes.
This special collection aims to highlight recent advancements, novel insights, and emerging trends in electrochemistry conducted using non-conventional electrolytes. The articles included herein provide a comprehensive overview of recent advances in our fundamental understanding of this rapidly evolving field. The contributions cover the structure of the electrode-electrolyte interface in ionic liquids and deep eutectics, as well as other non-conventional electrolytes (organic solvents, solid electrolytes, and brines), and applications like CO2 reduction and cathodic corrosion.
The applications of non-conventional electrolytes are far-reaching. Energy storage devices have experienced significant advancements through the exploration of alternative electrolyte systems. In fact, lithium-ion batteries and other advanced batteries and supercapacitors require the use of non-aqueous solvents. The investigation of electrochemical processes at the nanoscale in non-aqueous environments has also opened up new avenues for catalysis and sensor development. Furthermore, the field of electrochemical synthesis has been revolutionized by the use of non-conventional electrolytes, enabling the synthesis of complex organic compounds and the development of sustainable chemical processes. The articles compiled in this special collection provide valuable insights into the fundamental principles governing electrochemical phenomena in these systems and pave the way for future breakthroughs and applications. We hope that they will serve as a valuable resource for scientists, engineers, and students interested in this fascinating field.
We would like to close this Editorial by expressing our heartfelt gratitude to all the authors for their exceptional contributions and to the reviewers for their meticulous evaluation and constructive feedback. Their expertise and dedication have ensured the quality and relevance of the articles in this collection.
