The aim of this project is to understand the influence of an applied electric potential on the structure of a porous non-covalent network-based electrode in the presence of an ionic liquid electrolyte using in-situ small angle scattering. Cucurbit[n]urils, or nano-pumpkins, are the porous network of interest in this project. Depending on the guest confined molecule, these systems are ideal candidates for developing advanced dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) or high power supercapacitors. Direct experimental studies of the structural changes that occur due to voltage cycling are lacking. This project with investigate ion intercalation, crystallization and nanostructured framework growth; these topics are crucial for understanding energy storage and conversion processes.
