Anisotropic ion conduction in a unique smectic phase of self-assembled amphiphilic ionic liquids.
Two types of thermotropic smectic phase and of anisotropic ion conduction were observed in an amphiphilic ionic liquid, N-ethyl-N'-dodecylimidazolium dodecyl sulfonate/lithium tetrafluoroborate mixture.
