Certain concentrated mixtures of salts and solvents are not simply "solutions" anymore, but they may be described as "ionic liquids". In this perspective paper, we describe possible criteria for the new family ionic liquids: "solvate" liquids. This subclass liquids was originally proposed by Angell et al. in their recent review; however, remain to debated. Concentrated lithium organic useful models these solvate liquids, effects salt concentration, types solvents, counter anions on structure...
Raman spectra and electrode potentials corroborated that glyme–Li salt solvate ionic liquids consist of crown-ether like complex cations counter anions with a few uncoordinated glyme molecules in the liquid state.

The dissolution lithium polysulfides (Li2Sm), which are discharge products elemental sulfur, was significantly suppressed in solvate ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes, seen [Li(G4)][BETI]...
Li+ intercalation into graphite electrodes was investigated in electrolytes consisting of triglyme (G3) and Li[TFSA] [TFSA = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide]. Li+-intercalated successfully formed an equimolar molten complex, [Li(G3)1][TFSA]. The desolvation ions took place at the graphite/[Li(G3)1][TFSA] interface electrode potential range 0.3–0 V vs Li. In contrast, cointercalation G3 (intercalation solvate [Li(G3)1]+ cation) occurred [Li(G3)x][TFSA] containing excess (x > 1). This...

An equimolar mixture of lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide (Li[TFSA]) and either triglyme (G3) or tetraglyme (G4) yielded stable molten complexes: [Li(G3)][TFSA] [Li(G4)][TFSA]. These are known as solvate ionic liquids (SILs). Glyme-based SILs have thermal electrochemical properties favorable for use lithium-conducting electrolytes in batteries. However, their intrinsically high viscosities low conductivities prevent practical application. Therefore, we diluted with molecular...
Li+ ion hopping conduction in highly concentrated solutions of lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide (LiFSA) dissolved dinitrile solvents, namely succinonitrile, glutaronitrile, and adiponitrile, was investigated.
