Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The transition from a liquid to a solid state generally introduces a discontinuity in ionic conductivity. In the liquid phase, the ionic conductivity follows the Arrhenius relation. However, a sharp phase change such as freezing will cause a drop in ionic conductivity at the transition temperature because the ions are much less mobile in a solid than in a liquid. Barclay et al. designed an organic electrolyte based on cyclopropenium salts that does not show a sharp drop in the ionic conductivity at the liquid-to-solid phase change boundary. This attribute is achieved by bridging the liquid and solid phase regions by a liquid crystal phase region. Key aspects are the weak cation-anion interactions and considerable structural freedom. —Marc S. Lavine
