melting temperature of a salt becomes low and the salt becomes ionic liquid when the constituent ions are replaced by big organic ions. Ionic liquids are also employed as auxiliaries and catalysts in chemical synthesis. They are used in analytical equipment. They make up electrolytes in lithium-ion batteries, super capacitors, and metal plating baths. They can be found as lubricants and coolants.
The electrolyte Ionic liquid is defined as salt which is in the liquid state at ambient temperatures or below 100 °C. The solution consists of a liquid or solid phase containing at least one component, e.g., water, which is called the solvent, and an ionizable substance, e.g., a salt or an acid, which is called the electrolyte. Strong electrolytes fall into three categories: strong acids, strong bases, and salts. (Salts are sometimes also called ionic compounds, but really strong bases are ionic compounds as well.) The weak electrolytes include weak acids and weak bases.
