Facilitated Ion Transport in Smectic Ordered Ionic Liquid Crystals

A novel ionic mixture of an imidazolium‐based room‐temperature ionic liquid containing ethylene‐oxide‐functionalized phosphite anions is fabricated, which, when doped with lithium salt, self‐assembles into a smectic‐ordered ionic liquid crystal through Coulombic interactions between the ion species....

Description
Summary:A novel ionic mixture of an imidazolium‐based room‐temperature ionic liquid containing ethylene‐oxide‐functionalized phosphite anions is fabricated, which, when doped with lithium salt, self‐assembles into a smectic‐ordered ionic liquid crystal through Coulombic interactions between the ion species. Interestingly, the smectic order in the ionic‐liquid‐crystal ionogel facilitates ionic transport.
