Description
Relaxation, QENS and ionic liquid
Ionic liquids are salts with a melting temperature below 100°C and are of high interest as electrolytes for future energy technology. The interest arises from intrinsic properties such as high ionic conductivity, good electrochemical stability, negligible vapour pressure and non-flammability. In this lecture we will look into how neutrons and x-rays can be used to understand structure and dynamics on the mesoscale in ionic liquids and their link to the functional properties.
