Abstract
The large electrochemical and cycling stability of "water-in-salt" systems renders them as promising electrolytes for batteries. The impact of the addition of water on the ILs properties was already addressed in several publications. In contrast, in this contribution we focus the point of view to the changes of the water's state. Therefore, we investigated the protic ionic liquid N-butyl-pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)- imide with varying water content at different temperatures with the aid of molecular dynamics. It is revealed, that at very low concentrations the water is well dispersed and best characterized as shared solvent molecules. At higher concentrations the water forms larger aggregates and is more and more approaching a bulk-like state. While the liberational and rotational dynamics of the water become faster with increasing concentration, the translational dynamics are found to become slower. Further, all dynamics are faster if the temperature increases. The trends of these findings are in line with the experimental measured conductivities.
