New ionic mesogens with high ionic conductivity based on a cyanoborate building block and lipophilic or hydrophilic counter ions New ionic mesogens have been prepared based on a cyanoborate head group, which is tethered to a lipophilic periphery via a short flexible spacer. As counter ions, either tetra-n-butyl ammonium cations or sodium and potassium cations stabilized by 18-crown-6 have been used.

Graphical Abstract Towards Scalable production: Electrodes based on a porous carbon current collector outperforms conventional electrodes on aluminum foil when the loading is very high (e. g., >8 mAh/cm2), likely due to better adhesion. Electrodes with loadings up to 12 mAh/cm2 could be prepared via an infiltration process which was designed to be scalable.
