Nonaqueous Electrolytes for Electrochemical Capacitors: Imidazolium Cations and Inorganic Fluorides with Organic Carbonates

McEwen, Alan B., McDevitt, Stephen F., Koch, Victor R.·1997·Journal of The Electrochemical Society

Abstract

Electrolytes based on 1‐ethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium cation ( EMI + ) and either the hexafluorophosphate ( EMIPF 6 ) or tetrafluorborate ( EMIBF 4 ) anion in organic alkyl carbonate solvents have been evaluated for use in electrochemical capacitors The conductivity capacitance, limiting oxidation and reduction potentials, and thermal stability were assessed. High conductivity and capacitance values were found regardless of whether cyclic (high viscosity/high dielectric constant) or acyclic (low viscosity/low dielectric constant) alkyl carbonates were used. The best correlation with conductivity for the EMIPF 6 salt was found to be the molecular weight (κ ∝ 1/Mw) and to a lesser degree the viscosity (κ ∝ 1/η) of the solvent. The high specific capacitance (130 F/g) and excellent stability (>3.5 V, >130°C) make these electrolytes well suited for use in electrochemical double‐layer capacitors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
