Abstract
Salty water! Lithium salts (LiCl, LiNO3, and LiClO4) at very high concentrations in water form lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) mesophases with a nonionic surfactant (10-lauryl ether) and display high ionic conductivities (10−2–10−4 S cm−1) over a broad temperature range (−10 to 80 °C) with excellent behavior as gel electrolytes in electrochemical applications.
