Abstract
Excess entropy scaling relationships for diffusivity of ions in room-temperature ionic liquids are tested using molecular dynamics simulations for a model ionic liquid, dimethyl imidazolium chloride. The thermodynamic excess entropy of the single ions (estimated from the ion-ion pair correlation functions) is shown to be very strongly correlated with the diffusivity. An essential feature of these systems, the fact that the heavier and larger cation has a greater diffusivity with respect to the anion, is correctly captured by the excess entropy calculations, which estimates the diffusivity ratio between the two ions with noticeable precision.
