Ionic mobility in soggy sand electrolytes

Abstract: Ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining increased interest as electrolytes given their thermal and chemical stability, wide electrochemical windows, and ionic conductivities. However, leakage still remains an issue with respect to their use in all solid devices given their liquid nature at room temperature. Thus, research efforts are concentrated on obtaining a solid-like electrolyte with properties as close as possible to those of pristine ILs. Among other alternatives, IL-based chemical gels (ionogels) offer great promise because they are capable to confine larger amounts of ILs within its structure. This sort of electrolytes fall into the category of the recently discovered "soggy sand" electrolytes where ion absorption on the insulating polymer network promotes a preferential ion diffusion and an enhanced conductivity for a certain IL content. Herein, we wish to study this system by QENS.
