Abstract
Ionic liquids, having reasonably low volatility, flame retardancy, and high ionic conductivity, have great potential to be safe alternatives to electrolyte solutions. Most attractive point of these ionic liquids, is variety of structural design, implying unlimited variation of properties and functions of the salts. Their basic properties and recent developments for electrochemistry are reviewed.
