Functional Design of Ionic Liquids on the Basis of Understandings of the Ion Dynamics and Ionicity

离子液体被认为是继水和有机溶剂之后的第三类溶剂。它们易于获得并具有独特的性能，如非挥发性，高热稳定性，高离子电导率和可设计性，这使得它们可以在极不寻常的条件下和按需使用。该项目的重点是离子液体的动力学和离解性（离子性）。结果表明，离子性的大小对离子液体的独特性质有很大的影响。从离子液体作为新型溶剂和电解质应用于新材料和新器件的角度出发，设计并制备了功能化离子液体。

Ionic liquids are now being recognized as the third group of solvents, following water and organic solvents. They are easily available and possess unique properties such as nonvolatility, high thermal stability, high ionic conductivity, and designability, which make it possible to use them under extremely unusual conditions and on demand. This project has focused on the dynamics and dissociativity (ionicity) of ionic liquids. It is demonstrated that the magnitude of ionicity greatly affects the unique properties of ionic liquids. Task-specific ionic liquids are designed and prepared from the viewpoint of their utilization as neoteric solvents and electrolytes for new materials and devices.
