Title: Correlating structure and transport behavior in Li+ and O2 containing pyrrolidinium ionic liquids

Abstract

Using experiments and molecular simulations, we evaluate pyrrolidinium-based ionic liquid Li electrolytes and find that Li+ and O2 transport can be enhanced by varying the pyrrolidinium structure and Li concentration.
