A conductivity study of preferential solvation of lithium ion in acetonitrile-dimethyl sulfoxide mixtures

The electrical mobility of LiPF6 in acetonitrile-dimethyl sulfoxide (ACN-DMSO) mixtures, a potential electrolyte in oxygen cathodes of lithium-air batteries, has been studied using a very precise conductance technique, which allowed the determination of the infinite dilution molar conductivity and a...
