“…Values of D (Fc) in aprotic RTILs are usually of the order of (10 −8 –10 −7 ) cm 2 · s −1 , similar to D (Cc + ). Diffusion coefficients of the ferrocene/ferrocenium and cobaltocenium/cobaltocene couples have also been reported for allyl substited pyrrolidinium, piperidinium and morpholinium-based ionic liquids [33]. Diffusion coefficient values are in the same range of (10 −7 –10 −6 ) cm 2 · s −1 , depending on IL’s viscosity.Fig.…”
The electrochemical behavior of cobaltocenium has been studied in a number of room temperature aprotic ionic liquids. Well defined, diffusion controlled, anodic and cathodic peaks were found for the Cc+/Cc (cobaltocenium/cobaltocene) reduction/oxidation on gold, platinum and glassy carbon electrodes. Values of the peak separation parameters suggest quasireversibility or even irreversibility for the redox process. The difference between the ferrocene/ferrocenium and cobaltocenium/cobaltocene couples has been evaluated as equal to (1.350 ± 0.020) V. Values of the cobaltocenium (Cc+) diffusion coefficients D have been calculated on the basis of the Randles–Sevcik equation.

Electrical conductivity (σ), viscosity (η), and self-diffusion coefficient (D) measurements of binary mixtures of aprotic and protic imidazolium-based ionic liquids with water, dimethyl sulfoxide, and ethylene glycol were measured from 293.15 to 323.15 K. The temperature dependence study reveals typical Arrhenius behavior. The ionicities of aprotic ionic liquids were observed to be higher than those of protic ionic liquids in these solvents. The aprotic ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [bmIm][BF4 ], displays 100 % ionicity in both water and ethylene glycol. The protic ionic liquids in both water and ethylene glycol are classed as good ionic candidates, whereas in DMSO they are classed as having a poor ionic nature. The solvation dynamics of the ionic species of the ionic liquids are illustrated on the basis of the (1) H NMR chemical shifts of the ionic liquids. The self-diffusion coefficients D of the cation and anion of [HmIm][CH3 COO] in D2 O and in [D6 ]DMSO are determined by using (1) H nuclei with pulsed field gradient spin-echo NMR spectroscopy.
The charge/discharge characteristics for vanadium acetylacetonate in deep eutectic solvents were evaluated using an H-cell with an anion-exchange membrane separator for the first time. Coulombic (CE) and energy efficiencies (EE) of the electrolyte containing V(acac) 3 /0.5 M TEABF 4 in DES3 (a hydrogen bonded eutectic between choline chloride and ethylene glycol) were obtained as 49-52% and 25-31%, respectively, when charging from 0 to 50% of theoretical maximum state-of-charge for 12 cycles. The low CE may be due to the crossover of the active species through the separator, or to the loss of active vanadium due to a parasitic reaction. However, the CE was similar to that for acetonitrile (CH 3 CN) indicating the promise of DESs as suitable electrolytes for future evaluation. Charge and discharge voltages are respectively higher and lower than the formal cell potential obtained by voltammetry. Ohmic drop in the DES results from the low conductivity of the electrolyte and the relatively large distance between the two electrodes in the H-cell. Further studies require investigation in a flow cell with analyses of polarization curves and impedance to determine the loss mechanisms in sufficient detail. Low energy density is often reported as a barrier in the commercialization of redox flow batteries using current aqueous electrolytes. Non-aqueous electrolytic solvents offer a wide potential window of operation and increase the energy capacity of the system.2-4 In contrast to organic systems which are either scarce or environmentally unfriendly, ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as a relatively new class of non-aqueous electrolytes for energy storage applications. [5][6][7][8][9] ILs are salts that are liquid below 100• C. ILs have many favorable characteristics, e.g., low volatility, high intrinsic conductivity, large electrochemical window, etc. In addition, ILs can be tuned by combining different cations and anions. However, many reports point out the hazardous toxicity and the poor biodegradability of most ILs.7 ILs with high purity are also required since impurities, even in trace amounts, affect their physical properties. Additionally, their synthesis is not entirely environmentally friendly since it generally requires a large amount of salts and solvents in order to completely exchange the anions.10 These drawbacks together with the high price of common ILs unfortunately hamper their industrial applications. Such issues may be overcome by using deep eutectic solvents (DESs).
11,12A DES is a eutectic mixture of an organic salt (ammonium or phosphonium) and a hydrogen bond donor (HBD), that is made up of different components such as amides, metallic salts, alcohols, carboxylic acids and amines that may be used as complexing agents (typically an H-bond donor).13,14 DESs have a melting point that is far below that of either individual constituent. The mechanism is that the complexing agent interacts with the anion and increases its effective size. This, in turn, decreases the anionic interaction with the cation ther...
