IONIC CONDUCTOR IN A RIGID GEL STATE
ES2553903
Rigid electric conductive gel composed of a pure ionic liquid, the decyl sulfate of 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium [emim] [dso4] hydrated. Said rigid gel can be used, (as described or mixed with other additives such as solvents, inorganic salts or nanoparticles) in electrochemical devices (such as solar panels, batteries, capacitors,...), electronic, sanitary, optical..., and in all those where it is necessary to use electrically conductive pastes or creams. The main novelty is that the conductive rigid gel is formed by a pure hydrated compound that maintains its physical properties to the environment (that is, neither dries nor absorbs moisture). This has undoubted advantages over other conductive creams or pastes available in the market. (Machine-translation by Google Translate, not legally binding)
This invention provides a new electrically conductive material with unique physical properties, it is highly deformable but does not flow. <p> Furthermore, it has the advantage of being made up of a single chemical compound which, when hydrated, gives it the ability to carry electrical charges and the mechanical properties mentioned above. <p> Consisting on a single compound, its preparation and characterisation are easier than other similar compounds currently existing, usually made up of two or more compounds or components (including a gelling agent). In particular, this compound is stable and easy to handle. Therefore, this new material will advantageously replace many of those already used.
