Ionic liquid

A lineup of approximately 370 types of ionic liquids with various combinations of anions and cations!

Our company offers approximately 370 types of ionic liquids with various combinations of anions and cations. Ionic liquids have the following characteristics: 【Characteristics】 ■ Low volatility and flame resistance ■ High ionic conductivity ■ High thermal stability ■ Excellent electrochemical properties Ionic liquids possess these features and are expected to be one of the materials used in various fields, including next-generation energy, biotechnology, and environmental applications. Not all ionic liquids encompass all of the above characteristics, but research and development in collaboration with academia and industry is expanding from basic data acquisition to practical application considerations, and proposals for developments that can only be realized with ionic liquids are also being made.

basic information

Ionic liquids are "salts" composed solely of ions (anions and cations), and specifically, liquid compounds are referred to as ionic liquids. Generally, "salts" made up of ions are represented by inorganic salts, which are known to have high melting points. However, since the early 1990s, low-melting "ionic liquids" have been reported, and various compounds have been synthesized with their physical properties documented. There is no particularly clear definition, and the names used to refer to them vary, including terms like "room-temperature molten salts" and "ambient-temperature molten salts." Cations are classified based on their basic skeletal structure into "imidazolium salts," "pyrrolidinium salts," "pyridinium salts," "piperidinium salts," "ammonium salts," and "phosphonium salts." By changing the alkyl groups in the side chains or the types of anions, it is possible to design physical properties such as melting points, viscosity, and ionic conductivity.
