UNIWU showcased EMPHASIS at ACS Fall 2025 in Washington

Merlin Bohn representing UNIWU attended the American Chemical Society (ACS) 2025 Meeting in Washington, D.C., held in August 2025. The prestigious event brought together top chemists and researchers from around the world to share and discuss the latest breakthroughs in chemistry, materials science, and related fields.

As part of the EMPHASIS project, Merlin presented an abstract on the stability of tricyanomonofluoroborate-based ionic liquid electrolytes at porous carbon electrodes. His presentation underlined the potential of these innovative electrolytes to enhance the performance of supercapacitors by improving long-term stability — a key step toward more efficient and durable energy storage solutions.

The contribution not only highlighted the scientific progress of EMPHASIS but also fostered valuable exchanges with the international research community. Such interactions play an important role in advancing the project’s mission to develop sustainable, high-performance electrochemical energy storage technologies with the support of the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme.
