A salt that is composed of ions has been thought to be solid at room temperature due to its high melting point like sodium chloride. However, ionic liquid, which is liquid at or below 100\u00b0C due to its low melting point, is a unique substance with properties that have never been seen in other known liquids. In recent years, applied research on various applications of ionic liquid has been under way because of its properties and the high designability of structures formed of a combination of anions and cations.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nipponnyukazai.co.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/english\/rd\/ionic_liquid_photo.jpg\" alt=\"Ion Fluid\u3000Regular salt\" id=\"ionic_liquid\" \/><br \/>\n<strong class=\"icon_og\">AMINOION&reg; Outline<\/strong><\/p>\n<table id=\"ionic_liquid_table\">\n<tr>\n<th>Product Name<\/th>\n<td>AMINOION&reg;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>General Name<\/th>\n<td>Ionic liquid<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; margin: 20px 0 50px;\"><a href=\"\/english\/inquiry\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nipponnyukazai.co.jp\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/contactus.gif\" alt=\"Contact Us\" width=\"125\" height=\"32\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"anti_fog\">\n<h3>1.
