Abstract
AbstractThree ionic liquid belonging to the N‐alkyl‐N‐methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imides (Pyr1,nTFSI with n=4,5,8) have been added as co‐solvent to two commonly used electrolytes for Li‐ion cells: (a) 1 M lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) in a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and linear like dimethyl carbonate (DMC) in 1 : 1 v/v and (b) 1 M lithium bis‐(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) in EC : DMC 1 : 1 v/v. These electrolyte formulations (classified as P and T series containing LiPF6 or LiTFSI salts, respectively) have been analyzed by comparing ionic conductivities, transport numbers, viscosities, electrochemical stability as well as vibrational properties. In the case of the Pyr1,5TFSI and Pyr1,8TFSI blended formulations, this is the first ever reported detailed study of their functional properties in Li‐ion cells electrolytes. Overall, P‐electrolytes demonstrate enhanced properties compared to the T‐ones. Among the various P electrolytes those containing Pyr1,4TFSI and Pyr1,5TFSI limit the accumulation of irreversible capacity upon cycling with satisfactory performance in lithium cells.
