Solvate ionic liquids (SILs) are a promising new class of electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. Prominent SIL candidates are equimolar mixtures of lithium salts with weakly interacting anions and glyme. In particular, the equimolar mixture of lithium bis­(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)­imide ([Li]­[NTf...
