| Abstract: An ionogel is formed by mixture of precursors, a catalyst, and an ionic liquid to form a sol-gel. The precursors and the catalyst react to form a solid-phase matrix that includes pores, wherein the ionic liquid is disposed within the pores. The gel is dried by way of thermal or vacuum drying to remove liquid byproducts of the precursor-catalyst reaction and to form a solid-state ionogel that comprises the solid-phase matrix with the ionic liquid disposed therein. The ionogel is immersed in a quantity of a liquid electrolyte that is soluble in the ionic liquid. As the liquid electrolyte dissolves into the ionic liquid, the ionic liquid is displaced by the liquid electrolyte, yielding an ionogel having the liquid electrolyte disposed within its pores. |
