Ionogels: Present Opportunities, and Challenges for Future in Energy Storage Applications

摘要

From the last several decades, in the area of energy storage like batteries, electrochemical supercapacitors and dye-sensitized solar cells etc. electrolytes are playing an important role. Electrolytes are able to overcome the concern related to existing conventional energy storagedevices. Selection of better electrolyte is a very important and wise task. It is challenging work to develop very suitable and sophisticated electrolytes for energy storage devices. Currently, many researchers are working to meet the above challenges for better outcomes so that a suitableelectrolytes can be developed for energy storage devices. It is not surprising that energy storage has long been mentioned as the most important part of energy technologies. This review paper will be focused on the past achievement in the field of electrolyte and their development up to recentionogel electrolytes. Further future direction for required properties and applications of ionogel electrolytes have been highlighted.
