Toward New Ion Conductive Liquids via Ionic Liquids

Abstract

In the current era that it is strongly expected the SDGs would be achieved, electrolyte solutions in electrochemical devices and processes are being studied from dilute and concentrated solutions, through inorganic molten salts, deep eutectic solvents, and ionic liquids, to super‐concentrated solutions. Although concepts based on empirical laws such as the Walden rule and hydrodynamics such as the Stokes rule are still useful for ionic conduction in solution, it is expected that superionic conduction‐like mechanisms that are scarcely found in conventional electrolytes. Here, the authors′ recent results are described based on the local structure and speciation of ionic species in solution, focusing on protons and lithium ions.
