Popis: Ionogels are porous monoliths providing nanometer-scale confinement of an ionic liquid within an oxide network. Various dynamic parameters and the detailed nature of phase transitions were investigated by using a neutron scattering technique, giving smaller time and space scales compared to earlier results from other techniques. By investigating the nature of the hydrogen mean square displacement (local mobility), qualitative information on diffusion and different phase transitions were obtained. The results presented herein show similar short-time molecular dynamics between pristine ionic liquids and confined ionic liquids through residence time and diffusion coefficient values, thus, explaining in depth the good ionic conductivity of ionogels.
