Comparative electrochemical study of new poly(oxyethylene)–Li salt complexes

An electrochemical approach to measuring oxidative stability of solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries

“…The cyclic voltammogram showed an upturn at approximately 4.5 V. However, the authors called into question impurities on the stainless steel working electrode. In another study from Armand's group, cyclic voltammetry was performed on two electrode cells with either platinum or nickel microdisc working electrodes and lithium metallic foil pressed on stainless steel counter/reference electrodes (Benrabah et al, 1993). A single scan was run on each sample due to the chance of a passivating layer forming from lithium reduction by-products.…”

Measurement of ionic conductivity of poly (N-vinylimidazole) and its fluoroborate salt in solid state

“…Most ion-conducting polymers studied were for lithium and sodium ions [1,2,9,10]. A particularly promising Li + ion polyelectrolyte has been prepared [11] consisting of a perfluorosulphonated anion attached to the chain. Conductivity of 10 −5 S cm −1 at 30°C is reported [12].…”

Fluorinated organic chemicals: Prospects in New Electrochemical Energy Technologies

“…When R f = CF 3 , the polymer electrolytes based on trifluoromethylsulfonate, whose trivial name is lithium triflate (LiTf) are less conductive than the related lithium imide (trifluoromethylsulfonyl imide, LiTFSI) [3] and lithium methide (lithium tris(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-methanide, LiTTFSM) [4]. Synthesis of TFSI salts was performed by Foropoulos and Desmarteau [5], while the crystalline structure of KTTFSM was reported by Turowsky and Seppelt [6] before Dominey et al reported the advantages of liquid electrolytes based on LiTTFSM [7].…”
