Ionic liquids have emerged as versatile components in electrochemical systems, particularly as binders in carbon paste electrodes (CPE). Here, the authors integrate molecular dynamics simulations with experimental validation to investigate the role of ionic liquids containing aprotic quaternary ammonium as CPE binders, demonstrating how their compatibility with graphite in terms of surface coverage and friction leads to enhanced electrode performance.
