The concept of green in a battery involves the chemical nature of electrodes and electrolytes
as well as the economic sustainability of the cell. Although these aspects are typically …

Solvate Ionic Liquids (SILs) are a relatively new class of ionic liquids consisting of a
coordinating solvent and salt, that give rise to a chelate complex with very similar properties …

We report an electrolyte with low flammability, based on diethylene glycol dimethyl ether
(DEGDME) dissolving lithium bis-trifluoromethane sulfonimidate (LiTFSI), and lithium nitrate …

Molecular clustering and associated dynamic processes of lithium polysulfide species were
unraveled using classical molecular dynamics and ab initio metadynamics calculations. The …

Similar to fuel cells, poor mass transport of redox active species, such as dissolved oxygen
gas, is one of the challenges faced by lithium–air batteries (LABs). Capitalizing on the …

Lithium salt–glyme mixtures are interesting candidates as electrolytes for battery
applications. Depending on the type of glyme or anion and the salt concentration, they either …

Glyme solvents are a promising avenue of research in novel electrolytes, due to their
thermal and chemical stability, large electrochemical window, and tunable properties. This …

Transition metal dissolution is an important contributor to capacity fade in lithium-ion cells.
NMR relaxation rates are proportional to the concentration of paramagnetic species, making …

Electrolytes consisting of sodium bis (fluorosulfonyl) imide (NaFSI) dissolved in glymes
(monoglyme, diglyme, and triglyme) were characterized by FT-Raman spectroscopy and …

Ionic liquids, and their solid-state equivalents organic ionic plastic crystals, show many
useful and tailorable properties that make them interesting for a wide range of applications …
