Abstract

The present work examines the experimental electrical conductivities as a function of temperature for a variety of ionic liquids near room temperature. Three analytic models are used to describe them, the simple Arrhenius equation, the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher equation and a novel semi-empirical modified form based on precedents for electrolyte solutions. Patterns are determined that relate the model that best describes the experimental conductivity of a given ionic liquid and its specific chemical structure.
