STUDY AND INVESTIGATE THE INTERESTING AND FASCINATING CHARACTERISTICS OF IONIC LIQUIDS: A REVIEW

A salt in liquid form is known as an ionic liquid (IL). In certain cases, the term has been confined to salts with a melting point below a specified temperature, such as 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit). Ordinary liquids like water and gasoline are mostly made up of electrically neutral molecules, whereas ionic liquids are mostly made up of ions. Liquid electrolytes, ionic melts, ionic fluids, fused salts, liquid salts, and ionic glasses are all terms that describe these compounds. There are several applications for ionic liquids. They're strong solvents that can also be employed as electrolytes. Because of their low vapour pressure, salts that are liquid at near-ambient temperatures are useful in electric battery applications. An ionic liquid is formed when a salt melts without disintegrating or vaporising. At 801 °C (1,474 °F), sodium chloride (NaCl) melts into a liquid mostly composed of sodium cations (Na+) and chloride anions (Cl). When an ionic liquid cools, it frequently transforms into an ionic solid, which can be crystalline or glassy
