Molecular dynamics of ionic liquids confined in solid silica matrix for lithium batteries

Abstract

We present the first results of the magnetic field dependence of the longitudinal nuclear magnetic relaxation of anion-cation pair of ionic liquids (Li+-ionogels) confined within a silica-like mesoporous matrices designed for lithium batteries. These results are in favour of a very-correlated dynamical motion of the anion-cation pair within the solid and disordered silica matrix.
