Evaluating the contributions to conductivity in room temperature ionic liquids

ED Simonis, GJ Blanchard - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2024 - pubs.rsc.org
The conductivity of room temperature ionic liquids is not described adequately by the Nernst–
Einstein equation, which accounts only for Brownian motion of the ions. We report on the …
