This issue will consist of a series of Communications and Feature Articles from prominent scientists working on all aspects of ionic liquid chemistry. The scope will range from new fundamental knowledge about ionic liquids to novel applications of ionic liquids which take advantage of their unique attributes.  Follow on studies or those of routine interest will not be considered. 

The level of quality of this issue will be extremely high, and all manuscripts will undergo strict peer review. You are therefore encouraged to report work that you consider to be very important and conceptually significant in accord with the ChemComm mandate. Please note that inclusion in the issue is subject to the discretion of the guest editors.

Publication of the peer-reviewed articles will occur without delay to ensure the timely dissemination of the work. The articles will then be assembled on the ChemComm website as a web-based thematic issue.

Submit your work before 29th February 2012. Please add “ionic liquids” in the comments to the editor section.

Carbon nanostructures for solar energy conversion schemes

IYC 2011Developing environmentally friendly, renewable energy is one of the challenges to society in the 21st century. One of the renewable energy technologies is solar energy conversion — a technology that directly converts daylight into electricity. 

In their ChemComm Highlight in Chemistry, Dirk Guldi and Vito Sgobba survey recent breakthroughs in implementing carbon nanostructures — fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanohorns and graphene — into solar energy conversion schemes, that is, bulk heterojunction and dye-sensitised solar cells. Read the article today and let us know what you think by leaving a comment.

Carbon nanostructures

2011 is the International Year of Chemistry (IYC 2011), a worldwide celebration of the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind. ChemComm is marking IYC 2011 by publishing a series of ‘Highlights in Chemistry’. For more information visit the the ChemComm and IYC 2011 website.
