Wormlike micelles (or reverse wormlike micelles) are flexible cylindrical chains that are normally formed in water (or a nonpolar organic solvent) at 25.0 °C or above; the formation of wormlike micelles at lower temperatures is rare.

Na+-conducting, binary electrolytic mixtures, based on 1-ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium, trimethyl-butyl-ammonium, and N-alkyl-N-methyl-piperidinium ionic liquid (IL) families, were designed and investigated. The anions were selected among the per(fluoroalkylsulfonyl)imide families. Sodium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, NaTFSI, was selected as the salt. The NaTFSI-IL electrolytes, addressed to safer sodium battery systems, were studied and compared in terms of ionic conductivity and thermal stability as a function of the temperature, the nature of the anion and the cation aliphatic side chain length. Room temperature conductivities of interest for sodium batteries, i.e., largely overcoming 10−4 or 10−3 S cm−1, are displayed. Similar conduction values are exhibited by the EMI-based samples even below −10 °C, making these electrolyte mixtures potentially appealing also for low temperature applications. The NaTFSI-IL electrolytes, with the exception of the FSI-ones, are found to be thermally stable up to 275 °C, depending on the nature of the cation and/or anion, thus extending their applicability above 100 °C and remarkably increasing the reliability and safety of the final device, especially in the case of prolonged overheating.

In this work, we have developed machine learning models based on support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN) to correlate ionic conductivity of imidazolium-based ionic liquids. The data, collected from the NIST ILThermo Database, spans six orders of magnitude and ranges from 275-475 K. Both models were found to exhibit very good performance. The ANN-model was then used to predict ionic conductivity for all the possible combinations of cations and anions contained in the original dataset, which led to the identification of an ionic liquid with 30% higher ionic conductivity than the highest conductivity reported in the database at 298 K. The model was further employed to predict ionic conductivity of binary ionic liquid mixtures. A large number of ionic liquid mixtures were found to possess non-ideal behavior in that an intermediate mole fraction for such ionic liquid mixtures resulted in either a maximum or minimum in the ionic conductivity.
