• and the respective electrode surface (solid–liquid interface) is essential for developing improved future battery systems based on ILs. Correspondingly, the interaction between different ILs and various electrode materials was investigated by electrochemical methods, including, e.g., cyclovoltammetry

• relative to Ag/AgCl. As reference values for the resistance and the magnetic moment, the initial values R0 and m0 of the respective measurement were used. Results Charging was performed by the electrochemical methods of cyclic voltammetry, with a constant scan rate of 0.5 mV/s, or chronoamperometry (CA

• stability of the chosen conductance levels, are unique features of the electrochemical method [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Compared with mechanical setups, and separate from purely electrochemical methods, electromigration is another promising method to produce bistable contact configurations between integer
