Ionic liquid–polymer gel electrolytes based on morpholinium salt and PVdF(HFP) copolymer

Preparation and characterization of lithium ion conducting ionic liquid-based biodegradable corn starch polymer electrolytes

“…This ionic liquid consists of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation (BmIm + ) and trifluoromethanesulfonate (or known as triflate) anion (Tf − ). Among all the cations, 1,3-dialkylimidazolium (Im) is the appealing cation because of its favorable properties and ease to gather abundant and useful information [11]. Other than that, the imidazolium ILs bearing hydrophilic anions are capable of dissolving corn starch [12].…”

Lithium-polymer battery based on an ionic liquid–polymer electrolyte composite for room temperature applications

“…This composite was found to exhibit the highest stability among the composites that we have prepared so far; no significant decrease in its capacity density was observed when the charge-discharge reaction was repeated for 100 cycles in the 1 M of lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ) in a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) electrolyte solution. Polymer electrolyte combined with ionic liquid (IL) have been investigated widely, as IL exhibits some excellent properties for application in electrochemical devices such as lithium batteries [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. For example, Shin et al [16] investigated the influence of adding an ionic liquid, N-methyl-N-propyl pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) amide ([C 3 mpyr][NTf 2 ]), to P(EO) 20 -Li[NTf 2 ] polymer electrolytes, and used these electrolytes in solid-state Li/V 2 O 5 batteries.…”

Properties of Ionic Liquid Confined in Porous Silica Matrix

“…[22][23][24][25] Solid polymer electrolytes and polymer gel electrolytes have been used in developing polymer solar cells, [26][27][28][29][30] electrochromic devices, light-emitting electrochemical cell (LEC) [31][32][33] and biosensors. [34] In spite of high promise, the success of ionic liquids in developing electrochemical devices like batteries and fuel cells [35][36][37] etc, has not been as much as in other areas. The IL-plasticized polymers or gels show good ionic conductivity but do not yield desired rigid membranes for electrochemical devices.…”
