Research Abstract |
In electrolyte solutions with solvents of low dielectric constant, a minimum is often observed in the concentration dependence of molar electric conductivity. In this work, mode-coupling theory showed that the existence of the minimum can be explained by a dynamic mechanism without resorting to ionic association models, and our Brownian dynamics simulation supported the dynamic mechanism. Further, we measured the frequency dependence of the electric conductivity of a model system experimentally with the microwave reflectometry, and observed the increase in the relaxation frequency with increasing the concentration, which is one of the characteristics of the dynamic mechanism proposed in this work.
