Physicochemical Properties of Glyme–Li Salt Complexes as a New Family of Room-temperature Ionic Liquids

Abstract

Abstract Certain glyme–Li salt complexes, which are composed of equimolar mixtures of a glyme and a Li salt, are liquid under ambient conditions with physicochemical properties such as high thermal stability, wide potential window, high ionic conductivity, and high Li+ transference number and can be regarded as a new family of room-temperature ionic liquids.
