Abstract

There is good evidence that the first room-temperature ionic liquid or RTIL was identified and characterized by Walden in 1914, who examined the electrical conductivity of ethylammonium nitrate. Thus, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the very beginnings of electrochemistry involved room-temperature ionic liquids!
