The ionic conductivity of LiSO3CF3 complexed with wax-like solids of the general form H-(CH2)32 (CH2CH2O)10-H were investigated. The conductivity of the waxes studied in this work should be dependent on the shape of the domains. Conductivity measurements were made perpendicular, σ⊥, and parallel, σ, to the direction of molecular orientation. Depending on the size of the conducting domains, an...

A series of TiO2 nanotube (TNT)/ionic liquid matrices were prepared, and their lithium ion conductive properties were studied. SEM images implied that ionic liquid was dispersed on the whole surface of TNT. Addition of TNT to ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (BMImTFSA)) resulted in significant increase of ionic conductivity. Furthermore, lithium transf...

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have been found to be a major contributor to air pollution in many chemical and industrial processes. Recently, a new class of solvents–ionic liquids, which are chemically stable and non-volatile liquid organic salts at temperatures less than 100 C, have attracted widespread interest due to its negligible volatility, nonflammability and high ionic conductivity....

3A1 Electrical conductivity (EC) of 1:5 soil/water extract This test on milled air-dry sample at a soil/water ratio of 1:5 for 1 h is suitable for use on all soils, irrespective of whether acidic or alkaline. It usually underestimates the soluble salt status of soils containing natural or added gypsum, particularly if ≥ 1% of gypsum is present. Such soils would have an EC of about 2 dS/m. Soil ...
