Moderately Concentrated Acetonitrile‐containing Electrolytes with High Ionic Conductivity for Durability‐oriented Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Ionic Liquid Based Electrolytes for High-Temperature Lithium-Ion Batteries

Today, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are ubiquitous in mobile phones, laptops, and other portable devices. The research community strives to further improve the LIB to increase electric driving distance and efficiency of both hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and fully electric vehicles (EVs). Conventional LIBs need to be strictly temperature controlled, most often cooled, to ca. 30°C, to ensure a...

Understanding Ionic Conductivity in Crystalline Polymer Electrolytes

Electrochemical Model for Ionic Liquid Electrolytes in Lithium Batteries

Room temperature ionic liquids are considered as potential electrolytes for high performance and safe lithium batteries due to their very low vapor pressure and relatively wide electrochemical and thermal stability windows. Unlike organic electrolytes, ionic liquid electrolytes are molten salts at room temperature with dissociated cations and anions. These dissociated ions interfere with the tr...

Ring-chain synergy in ionic liquid electrolytes for lithium batteries

Lithium-ion batteries have been attracting much attention which enables the revolution of wireless global communication. Ionic liquids are regarded as promising candidates for lithium-ion battery electrolytes because they can overcome the limitations of high operating temperatures and flammability concerns of traditional electrolytes. However, at low temperatures they suffer from low ionic cond...
