Ionic liquids (ILs) provide an attractive medium for various chemical and redox reactions, where they are generally regarded as hydrophobic. However, Seddon et al. discovered that 4-10 wt % water absorbs into ILs that contain bulky anions, and Cammarata et al. found that the molecular state of water in Its is dramatically different from that of bulk liquid water or that of water vapor. To determine the microstructure of water incorporated into ILs and the impact on properties, we carried out first-principles-based molecular dynamics simulations. We find water in three distinct phases depending on water content, and that the transport properties depend on the nature of the water phases. These results suggest that the optimal water content is similar to 10% mole fraction of water molecules (similar to 1.1 wt %) for applications such as nonvolatile electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). This suggests a strategy for improving the performance of IL DSSC by replacing water with additives that would play the same role as water (since too much water can deteriorate performance at the anode-dye interface).
