Highly concentrated aqueous solutions of lithium salts (LiCl, LiNO 3 , and LiClO 4 ) and a nonionic surfactant (10‐lauryl ether) form lyotropic liquid crystalline mesophases. The new mesophases display high ionic conductivities (10 −2 –10 −4 S cm −1 ) over a broad temperature range (−10 to 80 o C) and exhibit excellent behavior as gel‐electrolytes in electrochemical applications.
