To understand the performance of the electrochemical device, the analysis of the mechanism of ionic conduction is important. However, due to the ionic interaction in the electrolyte and the complexity of the electrolyte structure, a clear analysis method of the ion conduction mechanism has not been proposed. Instead, a variety of mathematical models have been devised to explain the mechanism of ion conduction, and this review introduces the Arrhenius and Vogel-Tammann-Fulcher (VTF) model. In general, the above two mathematical models are used to describe the temperature dependence of the transport properties of electrolytes such as ionic conductivity, diffusion coefficient, and viscosity, and a suitable model can be determined through the linearity of the graph consisting of the logarithm of the moving property and the reciprocal of the temperature. Currently, many electrolyte studies are evaluating the suitability of the above two models for electrolytes by varying the composition and temperature range, and the ion conduction mechanism analysis and activation energy calculation are in progress. However, since there are no models that can accurately describe the transport properties of electrolytes, new models and improvement of existing models are needed.
