MIT: New type of electrolyte could enhance supercapacitor performance
Large anions with long tails (blue) in ionic liquids can make them self-assemble into sandwich-like bilayer structures on electrode surfaces. Ionic liquids with such structures have much improved energy storage capabilities.

Novel class of “ionic liquids” may store more energy than conventional electrolytes — with less risk of catching fire.
