Journal ArticleDOI
One-dimensional ion transport in self-organized columnar ionic liquids.
TL;DR: New fan-shaped ionic liquids forming columnar liquid crystalline phases have been prepared to obtain one-dimensional ion-transporting materials that would be useful for anisotropic transportation of ions at the nanometer level.
Journal ArticleDOI
One-Dimensional Ion-Conductive Polymer Films: Alignment and Fixation of Ionic Channels Formed by Self-Organization of Polymerizable Columnar Liquid Crystals
TL;DR: Two types of one-dimensional ion-conductive polymer films containing ion nanochannels that are both perpendicular and parallel to the film surface are prepared and anisotropic ionic conductivities are observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport of ions and electrons in nanostructured liquid crystals
Takashi Kato,Masafumi Yoshio,Takahiro Ichikawa,Bartolome Soberats,Hiroyuki Ohno,Masahiro Funahashi +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the design of liquid-crystalline phases, the resultant self-assembled structures, the transport mechanisms, and the fabrication, function and future development of devices incorporating nanostructured liquid crystals are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-assembly of functional columnar liquid crystals
TL;DR: This feature article describes some recent examples of the materials design and functionalisation of columnar liquid crystals as dynamically functional anisotropic materials that are stimuli-responsive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-organization of room-temperature ionic liquids exhibiting liquid-crystalline bicontinuous cubic phases: formation of nano-ion channel networks.
Takahiro Ichikawa,Masafumi Yoshio,Atsushi Hamasaki,Tomohiro Mukai,Hiroyuki Ohno,Takashi Kato +5 more
TL;DR: Three-dimensionally interconnected nano-ion channel networks are formed by room-temperature ionic liquids exhibiting thermotropic liquid-crystalline (LC) bicontinuous cubic phases that demonstrate higher ionic conductivities than those observed in the LC columnar phases.
