Abstract

Abstract The electrochemically stable and relatively high conductive room temperature molten salts (RTMS) have been obtained with the use of small ammonium cations such as methoxymethyltrimethylammonium and bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. The RTMS showed high conductivity (4.7 mS cm−1 at 25 °C) which is the highest value of all the ammonium based RTMS reported so far.
