Influence of additives of EMIBF4 and BMIBF4 ionic liquids on the properties of network polymer electrolytes for lithium power sources

The effect of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIBF4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIBF4) ionic liquids on the properties of the polymer electrolyte based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA) and LiBF4 salt was studied. Research was carried out by spray-mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique in the temperature range from -40 to 120 °C.

Electrochemical behavior of superfine carbon in electrolytes based on ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-butylimidazol tetrafluorborate

A various features of the electrochemical behavior of number superfine carbon materials in electrolyte based on an ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-butilimidazolium tetrafluorineborate (1Me3BuImBF4) were determined by voltammetry and impedance methods. A comparative analysis of the effect of the type and nature of the electrolyte material on the main electrochemical characteristics of carbon electrodes which may be used in supercapacitors was done.

A Double Layer Supercapacitor for Wide Temperature Range

The cyclic voltammetry was used to study the behavior of a symmetric supercapacitor with activated carbon cloth electrodes and a solution of an ionic liquid (C8H15N2PF6) in freon-22 as an electrolyte in the temperature range from ? 140 to + 130°C. The measurements were carried out in a special autoclave. At temperatures above 90°C, the supercapacitor exhibits purely capacitive behavior, whereas at the temperature lowering, the influence of resistance strongly increases.
