Imidazolium ionic liquids as electrolytes for manganese dioxide free Leclanché batteries

Aggregation behavior of non-cytotoxic ester functionalized morpholinium based ionic liquids in aqueous media

“…Owing to their well-established unique physicochemical properties, ILs are a subject of immense interest in the avenue of material, biological and chemical sciences [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. ILs have been tested for their applicability in various fields such as in organic transformations [8], liquid-liquid extractions [9], gas adsorption and separation [10], as lubricant additives [11,12], as electrolyte in solar cells [13], and as solvent as well as template for dispersion and synthesis of nanoparticles, respectively [14] depending on the nature of constituent ions.…”

Synthesis and characterization of novel anion exchange membranes based on imidazolium-type ionic liquid for alkaline fuel cells

“…They are also considered to be designer solvents, since their properties can be appropriately tuned and developed for different applications [17][18][19][20]. Aiming to explore novel anion exchange membranes which are high conductive, stable at elevated temperatures and soluble in certain solvents, imidazolium-type ionic liquids have been using as monomers for polymerization in our works.…”

Dielectric Properties of Ionic Liquids Proposed to Be Used in Batteries

“…It was found that the application of ILs could lead to relatively high electrochemical window, excellent thermal stability and that this kind of cell design had to be customised for further development (Sakaebe, 2007). Stracke and co-workers reported the successful application of ILs as electrolytes in a toxic compound free Leclanché batteries and found that higher ionic conductivities were related to higher Leclanché battery potentials (Stracke, 2009). The electrochemical behaviour and ionic conductivity of IL electrolytes and the resistance of the battery cells were studied by Saruwatari and co-workers.…”

“…They have several advantages compared to commercial organic solvents (Mutelet & Jaubert, 2006), or electrolyte liquids (Plechkova & Seddon, 2008) since they are liquid over a wide temperature range, easy to recycle, noncombustible , non-flammable (Saruwatari, 2010), display wide electrochemical windows (Giroud, 2008), high inherent conductivities (Stracke, 2009), have negligible vapor pressure (Endres, 2008), high thermal (Wasserschied & Welton, 2007) and electrochemical stability (Arnold, 2004), tuneable physicochemical properties (Koel, 2008) and lack of reactivity in various electrochemical or industrial applications (Seddon, 2003). Therefore ILs have been intensively studied recently as novel, much safer electrolyte materials (Sakaebe, 2007) for electrochemical devices (Ohno 2005) and energy storing devices, such as Li batteries for cellular phones (Xu, 2006), batteries for vehicles, fuel cells, supercapacitors (Sato, 2004), solar cells (Stathatos, 2005.…”
