Abstract
A salt and battery: The combination of single‐walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and an ionic liquid (IL) cross‐linked network gel (CNG) allows the conventional three‐phase reactive interface to be expanded to the whole cross‐linked network (see picture). Thus, it integrates high specific energy and specific power with the feasibility of operating in ambient air.Keywords
