Solutions, images corrosion systems

Ionic liquids are, quite simply, liquids that are composed entirely of ions. Thus, molten sodium chloride is an ionic liquid a solution of sodium chloride in water (a molecular solvent) is an ionic solution. The term ionic liquids was selected with care, as it is our belief that the more commonly used phrase molten salts (or simply melts) is referential, and invokes a flawed image of these solvents as being high-temperature, corrosive, viscous media (cf. molten cryolite). The reality is that room-temperature ionic liquids can be liquid at temperatures as low as — 96°C, and are typically colorless, fluid, and easily handled. To use the term molten salts to describe these novel systems is as archaic as describing a car as a horseless carriage. Moreover, in the patent and recent academic literature, ionic...
