Ionic liquids (ILs) are promising electrolyte materials for batteries or supercapacitors, as the enormous number of possible cation-anion combinations allows their fine tuning to match specific demands. We use Molecular Dynamics simulations to get deeper and more systematic insights into the ion transport mechanism in ILs. In particular, we study the correlated motion of the individual ionic species, and demonstrate that momentum conservation plays a crucial role for the overall transport properties, as it constrains the net motion of all ions. Furthermore, we apply strong electric fields to investigate nonlinear contributions to the conductivity.
