Abstract
Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) consist of molecular ions of which interactions are strong enough to maintain crystalline order but are weak enough to allow the rotations of the molecular ions at sufficiently high temperatures. When defects such as Schottky vacancies and grain boundaries are introduced into OIPCs, the defects facilitate the transport of dopants such as Li+ ions, for which OIPCs are considered as strong candidates for solid electrolytes. The transport mechanism of dopant ions in OIPCs with defects, however, remains elusive at a molecular level partly because it is hard in experiments to track the dopant ions and control the types of defects systematically. In this work, we perform molecular dynamics simulations for 1,3-dimethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([MMIM][PF6]) OIPCs with Li+ ions doped and show that the transport mechanism of Li+ ions depends on the types and concentrations of defects. A high concentration of Schottky vacancies enhance the overall ion conduction, but decrease the transference number. The transference numbers of Li+ ions in [MMIM][PF6] with grain boundaries are similar to that in [MMIM][PF6] with 0.78 mol% point vacancies. We also find that the transport of ions in OIPCs is strongly heterogeneous and the time scales of the dynamic heterogeneity of the ions are sensitive to the types of defects.

Abstract
Traditionally, deviation from Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) relation in terms of viscosity dependence of medium dynamics, i.e., τ x ∝ ( η T ) p with p ≠ 1, is taken as a signature of dynamic heterogeneity. However, it does not guarantee medium heterogeneity, as the decoupling may also originate from the deviation of the basic assumption of SED. Here, we developed a method to find a stronger relation between viscosity decoupling (p ≠ 1) and dynamic heterogeneity in terms of rotational motion. Our approach exploited the fact that in heterogeneous media, a solvatochromic probe will be solvated to a different extent at different microdomains (subpopulations), and photoselection of these subpopulations can be achieved by excitation or emission wavelength-dependent measurements. We hypothesized that the dynamics of a homogeneous system might show viscosity decoupling, but the extent of decoupling at different excitations (or at different emissions) should not be different. On the other hand, in a heterogeneous medium, this extent of viscosity decoupling (p-value) should be different at different excitations (or at different emissions). As proof of concept, we investigated three versatile solvent media: squalane (viscous molecular liquid), 1-ethyle-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate ionic liquid (IL), and [0.78 acetamide + 0.22 LiNO3] deep eutectic solvent (DES). We found that squalane is homogeneous, although it shows fractional viscosity dependence (p ≠ 1). Interestingly, mild heterogeneity in IL and significant heterogeneity in the DES were observed. Overall, we conclude that the difference in the p-value as a function of excitation (or emission) wavelength-dependent might be a superior way for the detection of dynamic heterogeneity.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising designer solvents for multivalent electrolytes, enabling the modulation of molecular-level interactions of solvate species. The molecular mechanism of multivalent-ion clustering and its impact on electrolytes properties is far less studied than that of ion pairs. Herein, we explore the effect of ion clusters on the transport and electrochemical behavior of IL-based electrolytes for Mg batteries. Simulation and small-angle X-ray scattering results indicate that ILs with higher denticity effectively suppress ion agglomeration and parasitic reactions of the Mg electrolytes. Although ion clustering reduces the diffusivity of Mg2+, the Coulombic efficiency for the reversible Mg deposition/stripping process is improved, highlighting the importance of microstructural and dynamical heterogeneities in the rational design of enhanced multivalent electrolytes.

Abstract
Solvation dynamics in ionic liquids show features that are often associated with supercooled liquids, including "stretched" nonexponential relaxation. To better understand the mechanism behind the stretching, the nonlinear mode-correlation methods proposed in Paper I [S. R. Hodge and M. A. Berg, J. Chem. Phys. 155, 024122 (2021)] are applied to a simulation of a prototypical ionic liquid. A full Green's function is recovered. In addition, specific tests for non-Gaussian dynamics are made. No deviations from Gaussian dynamics are found. This finding is incompatible with rate heterogeneity as a cause of the nonexponential relaxation and appears to be in conflict with an earlier multidimensional analysis of the same data. Although this conflict is not resolved here, this work does demonstrate the practicality of mode-correlation analysis in the face of finite datasets and calculations.

Abstract
The mixing of ILs provides an opportunity for fine tuning the physiochemical properties of ILs for various applications. However, a suitable mixture having desired properties can only be designed when the physiochemical properties of the mixtures of ILs along with their spectroscopic properties are well understood. With an aim to achieve this objective, three different mixtures with a common anion, namely, [C2C1im][C4C1im][NTf2], [C3C1pyr][C4C1pyr][NTf2], and [C3C1im][C3C1pyr][NTf2], have been investigated in the current study. Investigations have been carried out at the macroscopic level by observing the thermophysical properties, such as molar volume and thermal expansion coefficient, and at the microscopic level with time-resolved fluorescence measurements and the pulse field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique. The results obtained from the thermophysical study have indicated that excess molar volume for imidazolium-based IL-IL mixtures may be linked to the free volume created by the alkyl chain of the imidazolium cation whereas for the mixture of pyrrolidinium ILs, lowering of density can give rise to free volume. Analysis of time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy data has provided clear evidence in favor of the presence of free volume in the binary mixture of ILs. NMR studies have also supported the fluorescence anisotropy data. The outcome of the present investigation reveals that the mixtures show appreciable deviation from ideal behavior and the deviation from the ideal behavior is caused due to the generation of free volume in the resultant mixture, describing these IL mixtures as quasi-ideal rather than ideal or non-ideal.

Abstract
Organic ionic plastic crystals (OIPCs) are the crystals of electrolytes with a long-range translational order. The rotational modes of ions in OIPCs are, however, activated even in solid phases such that the diffusion of dopants such as lithium ions may be facilitated. OIPCs have been, therefore, considered as good candidates for solid electrolytes. Recent experiments and theoretical studies have suggested that both the translational and the rotational diffusion of ions are quite heterogeneous: the diffusion of some ions are quite fast while other ions of the same kind hardly diffuse, either rotationally or translationally. Such dynamic heterogeneity would be a key to the transport mechanism of dopants in solid state electrolytes. In this work, we investigate the effects of defects on the dynamic heterogeneity of OIPCs. We perform atomistic molecular dynamics simulation of 1,3-dimethylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([MMIM][PF6]) with a pair of cation and anion vacancies. At low temperature, vacancies undergo hopping motions toward each other and form a charge-neutral cluster. At high temperature, two vacancies act like a loosely bonded molecule and diffuse together via hopping motions. We find that the translational diffusion of ions is correlated strongly with the vacancy diffusion and becomes heterogeneous when the vacancies hop. The rotation of ions also becomes active when the ions are close to vacancies such that the rotational dynamic heterogeneity strengthens.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) are a special category of molten salts solely composed of ions with varied molecular symmetry and charge delocalization. The versatility in combining varied cation-anion moieties and in functionalizing ions with different atoms and molecular groups contributes to their peculiar interactions ranging from weak isotropic associations to strong, specific, and anisotropic forces. A delicate interplay among intra- and intermolecular interactions facilitates the formation of heterogeneous microstructures and liquid morphologies, which further contributes to their striking dynamical properties. Microstructural and dynamical heterogeneities of ILs lead to their multifaceted properties described by an inherent designer feature, which makes ILs important candidates for novel solvents, electrolytes, and functional materials in academia and industrial applications. Due to a massive number of combinations of ion pairs with ion species having distinct molecular structures and IL mixtures containing varied molecular solvents, a comprehensive understanding of their hierarchical structural and dynamical quantities is of great significance for a rational selection of ILs with appropriate properties and thereafter advancing their macroscopic functionalities in applications. In this review, we comprehensively trace recent advances in understanding delicate interplay of strong and weak interactions that underpin their complex phase behaviors with a particular emphasis on understanding heterogeneous microstructures and dynamics of ILs in bulk liquids, in mixtures with cosolvents, and in interfacial regions.

Abstract
A new room-temperature deep eutectic solvent (DES) composed of glucose, urea, and water has been prepared and its relaxation dynamics explored via temperature-dependent time-resolved fluorescence measurements employing hydrophilic and hydrophobic solute probes. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements indicate a glass transition temperature (Tg) of ∼236 K. Measured viscosity coefficients (η) vary from ∼600 to ∼100 cP in the temperature range 318 ≤ T/K ≤ 343 and exhibit Arrhenius-type temperature dependence with an activation energy of ∼65 kJ mol-1. Interestingly, this DES forms a stable liquid at ∼300 K but is too viscous to be accurately measured by us below 318 K. Temperature-dependent dynamic fluorescence anisotropy measurements using hydrophobic and hydrophilic solutes of similar sizes reveal bi-exponential kinetics and Arrhenius-type temperature dependence for solute rotation times (⟨τr⟩) but with significantly decreased activation energies, ∼31 kJ mol-1 (hydrophobic) and ∼21 kJ mol-1 (hydrophilic). Deviation from hydrodynamics is further reflected in the strong fractional viscosity dependence of ⟨τr⟩: ⟨τr⟩ ∝ (η/T)p with p ≈ 0.3-0.5, indicating pronounced temporal heterogeneity in the relaxation dynamics. Dynamic fluorescence Stokes shift measurements (temporal resolution ∼85 ps) produce dynamic shifts of ∼500-700 cm-1, bi-exponential solvation energy relaxation with time constants in the range ∼0.2 ns and ∼4 ns, and estimated missing amplitudes of ∼65-75%. Impact of the density difference between a nonpolar solvent and this DES on the estimated missing amplitudes is explored via measuring the temperature-dependent densities and refractive indices of this DES. Lifetime measurements suggest considerable temperature dependence for the hydrophobic solute but no such dependence for the hydrophilic one. Excitation energy dependence of fluorescence emission of various solutes with widely different lifetimes indicates mild spatial heterogeneity for this DES.

Abstract
The transport behavior of ionic liquids (ILs) is pivotal for a variety of applications, especially when ILs are used as electrolytes. Many aspects of the transport dynamics of ILs remain to be understood. Here, a common ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (BmimNTf2), was studied with molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that BmimNTf2 displays typical structural relaxation, subdiffusive behavior, and a breakdown of the Stokes-Einstein diffusion relation as in glass-forming liquids. In addition, the simulations show that the translational dynamics, reorientation dynamics, and structural relaxation dynamics are well described by the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann equation like fragile glass forming liquids. Building on previous work that employed ion cage models, it was found that the diffusion dynamics of the cations and anions were well described by a hopping process random walk where the step time is the ion cage lifetime obtained from the cage correlation function. Detailed analysis of the ion cage structures indicated that the electrostatic potential energy of the ion cage dominates the diffusion dynamics of the caged ion. The ion orientational relaxation dynamics showed that ion reorientation is a necessary step for ion cage restructuring. The dynamic ion cage model description of ion diffusion presented here may have implications for designing ILs to control their transport behavior.

Abstract
The control of freezing saline water at the micrometer level has become very important in cryosurgery and cryopreservation of stem cells and foods. Adding antifreeze protein to saline water is a promising method for controlling the freezing because the protein produces a gap between the melting point and the freezing point. Furthermore, a synergistic effect of the solutes occurs in which the freezing point depression of a mixed solution is more noticeable than the sum of two freezing point depressions of single-solute solutions. However, the mechanism of this effect has not yet been clarified. Thus, we have carried out a molecular dynamics simulation on aqueous solutions of winter flounder antifreeze protein and sodium chloride or calcium chloride with an ice layer. The results show that the cations inhibit the hydrogen bond among water molecules not only in the salt solutions but also in the mixed solutions. This inhibition depends on the local number of ions and the valence of cations. The space for water molecules to form the hydrogen bonds becomes small in the case of the mixed solution of the protein and calcium chloride. These findings are consistent with the synergistic effect. In addition, it is found that the diffusion of ions near positively-charged residues is attenuated. This attenuation causes an increase in the possibility of water molecules staying near or inside the hydration shells of the ions. Furthermore, the first hydration shells of the cations become weak in the vicinity of the arginine, lysine and glutamic-acid residues. These factors can be considered to be possible mechanisms of the synergistic effect.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations are performed on a 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([C12mim][PF6]) ionic liquid using a united-atom model. The ionic liquid exhibits second step relaxation at temperatures below a crossover point, where the diffusion coefficient shows an Arrhenius to non-Arrhenius transition. Annealing below this crossover temperature makes an isotropic to mesophase transition, where the smectic A (SmA) phase or crystal-like smectic B (SmB) phase forms. Hundreds of nanoseconds are required for completing these transitions. A normal diffusion process is found for anions along the layer-normal and -lateral directions in the SmA phase, but only in the lateral directions in the SmB phase. We find a preserved orientational order for the imidazolium-ring rotational and the alkyl-chain reorientational dynamics in both of the smectic phases.

Abstract
With an aim to understand the behavior in terms of the intermolecular interactions, structure and dynamics of dicationic and monocationic ionic liquids (ILs), two imidazolium-based dicationic ionic liquids (DILs), 1,8-bis-(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)octane bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C8(mim)2][NTf2]2), 1,9-bis-(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)nonane bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C9(mim)2][NTf2]2), and one monocationic ionic liquid (MIL), 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide ([C4(mim)][NTf2]), have been investigated through combined fluorescence, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), NMR and fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS). The DILs were synthesized by following a standard synthetic protocol and subsequently characterized by different analytical techniques. Steady state absorption, emission and EPR spectroscopic data reveal that DILs are less polar compared to MIL. The polarities of the DILs and MIL were found to be close to those of acetonitrile and short chain alcohols, respectively. The excitation wavelength dependent emission data reveals that DILs are more micro-heterogeneous in nature than MIL. The rotational diffusion of two organic solutes, perylene and 8-methoxypyrene-1,3,6-sulfonate (MPTS), were examined in the DILs and MIL. The rotational diffusion data for perylene and MPTS were analyzed in light of the Stokes-Einstein-Debye (SED) hydrodynamic theory. The rotation of perylene in the DILs was observed to be relatively faster to that in the MIL, and it goes beyond the limit predicted by the SED theory. In order to explain the rotational motion of perylene in DILs, the data was analyzed further by invoking quasi-hydrodynamic theory. The observed rotational behavior of perylene has been explained by considering the fact that perylene is located in the nonpolar region of ILs, and larger solvent molecules (DILs) induce a lower friction to the rotating solute. Interestingly, unlike perylene, rotations of MPTS in both of the ILs were observed to be much hindered indicating a relatively stronger MPTS-IL interaction than perylene-IL interaction. More interestingly, rotation of MPTS was observed to be faster in the DILs than that in the MIL despite the fact that DILs are more viscous than MILs. Relatively faster rotation of MPTS in DILs has been explained by resorting to NMR and FCS studies. The outcomes of the NMR and FCS studies revealed that DILs in the experimental condition exist in their folded form and because of this structural restriction of DILs it becomes difficult for the bulky MPTS to make stronger hydrogen bonding interactions with DILs, which eventually makes the rotation of MPTS in DILs faster. Essentially, the outcomes of all of these studies have demonstrated that the behavior of DILs is quite different to that of the usual MILs.

Abstract
Modern ionic liquids (ILs) are considered green solvents for the future applications due to their inherited advantages and remarkable transport properties. One of the ubiquitous properties of ILs is their intrinsic ionic conductivity. However, understanding of the super-Arrhenius behavior of the ionic conductivity process at elevated pressure still remains elusive and crucial in glass science. In this work, we investigate the ion transport properties of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide: [C4mim][NTf2], 1-butylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)-sulfonyl]imide: [C4Him][NTf2] and 1-butylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate: [C4Him][HSO4] ILs in the supercooled liquid state using dielectric spectroscopy at ambient and high pressure. We present the experimental data in the dynamic window of the conductivity formalism to examine the charge transport properties. The frequency-dependent ionic conductivity data have been analyzed using the time-temperature superposition principle. In the Arrhenius diagram, the thermal evolution of the dc-conductivity reveals similar temperature dependence for both protic and aprotic ILs thus making it difficult to distinguish the ion dynamics. However, our results demonstrate the key role of high pressure that unambiguously separates the charge transport properties of protic ILs from aprotic ones through the apparent activation volume parameter. We also highlight that the activation volume can be employed to assess the information connecting the ability of ionic systems to form H-bond networks and the impact of proton transfer involved in the conduction process.

Abstract
Structural and dynamic properties of the ionic liquid (IL) choline acetate are studied using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The hydroxyl group of choline shows significant hydrogen-bonding interactions with the oxygen atoms of acetate. Nearly all choline cations are found to form a hydrogen bond with acetate anions at 400 K, while about 67% of cations participate in hydrogen-bonding interactions at 600 K. At 400 K, subdiffusive and prominent non-Gaussian behavior persist for t > 10 ns. At 600 K, the usual diffusion regime is obtained after a few hundred ps of subdiffusive behavior. Analysis of reorientational motions of acetate ions, particularly those of their short axes, indicates a high degree of dynamic heterogeneity, in agreement with previous work on different IL systems.

Abstract
Despite the innumerous papers regarding the study of the ionic liquids as a potential candidate for CO2 capture, many details concerning the structure and dynamics of CO2 in the system are still to be revealed, i.e., the correlation between the local environment structure and the dynamic properties of the substance. This present work relied on the performance of molecular dynamics both for the neat [C2mim][Tf2N] and [C2mim][Tf2N]/CO2 mixtures in an attempt to elucidate the local environment of CO2 and their effects on the dynamic properties of [C2mim][Tf2N]. A slight change in the orientation of the cation and anion could be observed, which was correlated to the cation and anion moving away from each other in order to receive the carbon dioxide. The gas molecules pushed both the cation and the anion away to create sufficient void to its accommodation. The diffusion coefficient of [C2mim]+ is higher than [Tf2N]- regardless the increase of the CO2 concentration. The addition of CO2 in the ionic liquid has shown an increase of 4-5 times for the diffusivity of ions, which was related to the decrease of cation-anion interaction strength. The transport properties' results showed that the addition of CO2 in the ionic liquid generates the fluidization of the system, decreasing the viscosity as a consequence of the local environment structure changing. Likewise, the effect of the type of anion and cation on the system properties was studied considering [Ac]- and [BMpyr]+ ions, showing large effects by the change of anion to [Ac]- which rise from the strong [C2mim]+-[Ac]- interaction, which conditions the solvation of ions by CO2 molecules.

Abstract
The composition of the lithium cation (Li(+)) solvation shell in mixed linear and cyclic carbonate-based electrolytes has been re-examined using Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics (BOMD) as a function of salt concentration and cluster calculations with ethylene carbonate:dimethyl carbonate (EC:DMC)-LiPF6 as a model system. A coordination preference for EC over DMC to a Li(+) was found at low salt concentrations, while a slightly higher preference for DMC over EC was found at high salt concentrations. Analysis of the relative binding energies of the (EC)n(DMC)m-Li(+) and (EC)n(DMC)m-LiPF6 solvates in the gas-phase and for an implicit solvent (as a function of the solvent dielectric constant) indicated that the DMC-containing Li(+) solvates were stabilized relative to (EC4)-Li(+) and (EC)3-LiPF6 by immersing them in the implicit solvent. Such stabilization was more pronounced in the implicit solvents with a high dielectric constant. Results from previous Raman and IR experiments were reanalyzed and reconciled by correcting them for changes of the Raman activities, IR intensities and band shifts for the solvents which occur upon Li(+) coordination. After these correction factors were applied to the results of BOMD simulations, the composition of the Li(+) solvation shell from the BOMD simulations was found to agree well with the solvation numbers extracted from Raman experiments. Finally, the mechanism of the Li(+) diffusion in the dilute (EC:DMC)LiPF6 mixed solvent electrolyte was studied using the BOMD simulations.

Abstract
Ionic liquids (ILs) constitute an active field of research due to their important applications. A challenge for these investigations is to explore properties of ILs near the glass transition temperature Tg, which still require our better understanding. To shed a new light on the issues, we measured ILs and their base counterparts using the temperature modulated calorimetry. We performed a comparative analysis of the dynamic heterogeneity at Tg for bases and their salts with a simple monoatomic anion (Cl(-)). Each pair of ionic and non-ionic liquids is characterized by nearly the same chemical structure but their intermolecular interactions are completely different. We found that the size of the dynamic heterogeneity of ILs near Tg is considerably smaller than that established for their dipolar counterparts. Further results obtained for several other ILs near Tg additionally strengthen the conclusion about the relatively small size of the dynamic heterogeneity of molecular systems dominated by electrostatic interactions. Our finding opens up new perspectives on designing different material properties depending on intermolecular interaction types.

Abstract
Steady state, time-resolved fluorescence and NMR experiments are carried out to gain deeper insights into the structure-property correlation in structurally similar monocationic and dicationic room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). The excitation wavelength dependent fluorescence response of fluorophore in 1-methy-3-propyllimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [C3MIm][NTf2] is found to be different from that of 1,6-bis(3-methylimidazolium-1-yl)hexane bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [C6(MIm)2][NTf2]2 and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide [C6MIm][NTf2]. The outcomes of the present solvent dynamics study in [C3MIm][NTf2] when compared with those in [C6(MIm)2][NTf2]2 and in [C6MIm][NTf2] from our previous studies (Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2014, 16, 12918-12928) indicate the involvement of dipolar rotation of imidazolium cation during solvation. To correlate the findings of solvation dynamics study with the dipolar rotation of the imidazolium ring, pulsed-field gradient (PFG)-NMR technique for translational diffusion coefficient measurement and (1)H as well as (19)F spin-lattice relaxation measurements are employed. NMR investigation reveals that an ultrafast component of solvation can be related to the dipolar rotation of imidazolium cation; hence, the role of dipolar rotation of cations in governing the dynamics of solvation in ILs cannot be ignored. Analysis of the rotational relaxation dynamics data by the Stokes-Einstein-Debye hydrodynamic theory unveils distinctive features of solute-solvent interaction in [C3MIm][NTf2] and [C6(MIm)2][NTf2]2.
