In seeking the electrolyte replacing the conventional electrolyte based on organic solvent, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidur-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-3-methylimidazolium ionic liquid was studied for using as electrolyte in lithium batteries. Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-imidur-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-3-methylimidazo-lium was synthesized via tosylate 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl by using microwave or ultrasound irradiation. The physico-chemical and electrochemical properties including melting temperature (Tm), degradation temperature (Td), density, viscosity, ionic conductivity and electrochemical window of synthesized ILs were characterized and compared to those of commercial electrolyte and electrolytes based on imidazolium and ammonium cations. Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidur-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)-3-methylimidazolium exhibited good thermal stability, excellent electrochemical stability in comparing to the commercial electrolyte and ammonium cation based ILs. However, the high viscosity of ILs is still an obstacle for lithium-ion batteries application. Thus, the addition with small amount of organic solvent is able to improve the viscosity, the cycling behavior without destroying the non-volatility and thermal stability of the ionic liquid.

Developing post-lithium-ion battery technology featured with high raw material abundance and low cost is extremely important for the large-scale energy storage applications, especially for the metal-based battery systems such as aluminum, sodium, and magnesium ion batteries. However, their developments are still in early stages, and one of the major challenges is to explore a safe and reliable electrolyte. An ionic liquid-based electrolyte is attractive and promising for developing safe and nonflammable devices with wide temperature ranges owing to their several unique properties such as ultralow volatility, high ionic conductivity, good thermal stability, low flammability, a wide electrochemical window, and tunable polarity and basicity/acidity. In this review, the recent emerging limitations and strategies of ionic liquid-based electrolytes in the above battery systems are summarized. In particular, for aluminum-ion batteries, the interfacial reaction between ionic liquid-based electrolytes and the electrode, the mechanism of aluminum storage, and the optimization of electrolyte composition are fully discussed. Moreover, the strategies to solve the problems of electrolyte corrosion and battery system side reactions are also highlighted. Finally, a general conclusion and a perspective focusing on the current development limitations and directions of ionic liquid-based electrolytes are proposed along with an outlook. In order to develop novel high-performance ionic liquid electrolytes, we need in-depth understanding and research on their fundamentals, paving the way for designing next-generation products.

The lithium-ion battery is widely and increasingly used in many portable electronic devices and high-power systems in the modern society. Currently, it is significant to develop excellent cathode materials to meet stringent standards for batteries. In this paper, recent developments were reviewed for several typical cathode materials with high voltages and good capacities. These cathode materials referred to LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiMn2O4, LiMPO4 (M=Fe, Mn, Co and Ni, et al), and their composites. The technical bottlenecks about the cathode material is required to be conquered. For instance, LiCoO2 and LiNiO2 have high coulombic capacity and good cycling characteristics, but are costly and exhibit poor thermal stability. Simultaneously, LiMn2O4 exhibit good thermal stability, high voltage and high rate capability, but have low capacity. Thus it is advantageous to produce a composite which shares the benefits of both materials. The composite cathode material is superior over any single electrode material because the former has more balanced performance, and therefore, is promising to manufacture the next generation of batteries.

To improve the safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), a polyether amide–silica (PEI-SiO2) composite membrane was developed by the in situ hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and its subsequent self-assembly on the surface of PEI fibers. Because of the presence of the SiO2 shell, the PEI-SiO2 composite membrane exhibited good thermal stability at high temperatures. The composite membrane did not change its color and size after heating at 200°C for 1 h as well as exhibited excellent flame retardancy. Moreover, the membrane maintained its high porosity even after the introduction of shell layers. The electrolyte is completely absorbed in the membrane within 0.5 s. The electrolyte uptake was up to 625%, and the ionic conductivity was up to 1.9 mS/cm at room temperature. Compared to the polyolefin membrane and the pure PEI membrane, the PEI-SiO2 composite membrane showed higher electrochemical stability, with an electrochemical window of up to 5.5 V. The battery assembled with the composite membrane showed excellent cycle stability, and the capacity retention rate was as high as 98.6% after 50 cycles. The LIBs based on the PEI-SiO2 composite membrane exhibited safe operation and high electrochemical performance, thus highlighting the applicability of the composite membrane in high-power batteries.

Collagen was extracted from catfish (Clarias gariepnus) waste using 0.5M acetic acid and its subsequent precipitation in 2.6M NaCl. The resultant collagen was analysed with respect to its moisture content and physico­chemical properties including yield, pH, protein content, colour, odour and thermal stability. A yield of 16. 4% and positive collagen attributes indicate that catfish waste has potential as a collagen source. The snowy white, crystal-like and light textured collagen comprises of 5.97% protein and 0.46% moisture, and exhibits a pH of 4.75. Sensory evaluation indicates that the collagen has a slight fishy odour. Viscosity analysis indicates a steady decrease with increasing temperature over the range considered (20-50°C). The pale colour exhibited and limited odour emitted by the extracted collagen indicate that catfish waste collagen could be applied in the food industry without resulting in any undesirable food products attributes. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis indicated that the collagen exhibits good thermal stability and denatures at a high temperature in a similar manner to mammalian collagen.

A new type of nanopolypyrrole/organically modified montmorillonite-ionic liquid gel polymer electrolyte (ppy/OMMT-ILGPE) is prepared based on nanopolypyrrole/organically modified montmorillonite (ppy/OMMT), N-butyl-N- methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PP14TFSI), lithium-bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) (LiTFSI), polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) by an in situ method. The effect of nano-ppy/OMMT on the physical and electrochemical properties of an ionic liquid gel polymer electrolyte is demonstrated. The results show that nano-ppy/OMMT-ILGPE has a porous structure with a large surface area, and the diameter of the pores on the surface is approximately 1-2 μm. The Li+ transference number of 0.72 is achieved, and the ionic conductivity reaches up to 1.2 × 10−3 S/cm at room temperature. Nano-ppy/OMMT-ILGPE has good thermal stability and mechanical properties. Meanwhile, nano-ppy/OMMT-ILGPE has fine cycle performance in the Li|nano-ppy/OMMT-ILGPE|LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 coin cell. The good electrochemistry performance of nano-ppy/OMMT-ILGPE means that it can act as an ideal gel polymer electrolyte material for lithium ion batteries.

Introduction: Ionic liquids (ILs) have become a prospective candidate to replace the conventional electrolytes based on the volatile organic-solvents in lithium-ion batteries. However, the drawbacks of high viscosity and low ionic conductivity have restricted the high rate capacity and energy density in practical batteries. With the aims to resolve these problems and design a safe electrolytes with high electrochemical stability, mixtures of ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide (EMITFSI) with different amounts of ethylene carbonate (EC) was prepared and characterized as electrolytes for Li-ion batteries. Methods: In this work, we investigated four factors to demonstrate the performance of EMITFSI as electrolytes for Li-ion batteries. These factors include: thermal properties of mixed electrolytes (Mettler Toledo DSC1 Star -DSC, Q500-TGA), Conductivity (HP- AC impedance spectroscopy), Viscosity (Ostwald viscometer CANNON) and electrochemical window (cyclic voltammetry-MGP2 Biologic Instrument). All experiments were repeated three times with the exception of TGA-DSC methods. Results: The study indicated that 20 % wt. ethylene carbonate (EC) when mixed with EMITFSI could significantly decrease the electrolyte viscosity while improving ionic conductivity and maintain similar electrochemical stability as pure ionic liquid. Lithium diffusion coefficient of mixed electrolytes was lower than commercial electrolytes based on conventional solvents, however, the thermal stability was enhanced. Conclusion: EMITFSI can be used to replace conventional carbonate-based liquids as a high-performance electrolyte for Li-ion batteries.

Ionic liquids have interesting properties because they have several advantages compared to conventional organic solvents, such as high thermal stability, high viscosity, good solvent properties, non-flammable, and non-volatile. In electrochemistry, ionic liquids can be used as solvents without the addition of electrolytes. However, ionic liquids still have resistivity properties (uncompensated resistance), thus ohmic drop measurements are needed for a potential correction. Imidazole-based ionic liquids, which are known for their high conductivity and commonly used as a solvent, have been measured of their resistivity as a function of temperature, and type of their cations/anions. Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) method was chosen to measure the resistivity of ionic liquids and Bode plot was generated for the analysis of the results. The measured resistivities of ionic liquids are in the range of 420 to 1500 ohm. It is concluded that the resistivity of the imidazole-based ionic liquid is influenced by the size of their constituent ions, the viscosity, and the resistance is decreased with increasing temperature.
