• , materials might be modified with polar side chains [9], instead of the use of alkyl groups [10], and this allows for improved ion transport. A similar strategy has been used to improve the doping of n-type thermoelectric materials, where polar side chains on fullerene materials allow for better miscibility

The addition of large amounts of supporting electrolyte and vigorous circulation of the electrolyte solution also complicates the scale-up process [17][18]. On

In 1984 Lehn, Sessler and co-workers developed double-side-strapped crowned porphyrins, which served as tritopic and tetratopic receptors

Since ionic liquids show a lower ion mobility as compared to aqueous or organic electrolytes, a well-connected transport pore system is of particular importance to guarantee a fast ion transport and should result in better

The energy storage is accomplished by ion electrosorption as can be inferred from the rectangular shaped
