Scientists at NJIT and in Germany are working to understand how ions congregate around nanoporous materials, which could lead to safety and reliability improvements for electronic components such as supercapacitors and microscopically tiny actuators. Nanoscale porous materials are used in everyday objects such as household water filters and gas masks, but there is little research into how such surfaces behave when interacting with electrolytes, which can create internal stress that changes the material's physical properties.
