Viscosity and Conductance of MEICl/AlCl3 Melts Containing Nonaqueous Solvents

Abstract

Ionic liquids formed by mixing 1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium chloride (MEIC1) with A1C13 are of interest as electrolytes for batteries. Enhanced conductivities of these melts were observed upon addition of the solvents, benzene, acetonitrile, and dichloromethane. Conductivities and viscosities of these melt/solvent solutions were measured as a function of mole fraction of solvent and found to have similar functional dependence. A model for benzene-ion and ion-ion interactions in the solutions is proposed to explain the variations in the interdependence of conductivity and viscosity in the benzene-melt solutions.
