New type of imidazole based salts designed specifically for lithium ion batteries

LiTDI as electrolyte salt for Li-ion batteries: transport properties in EC/DMC

“…It can also be noted that the r s value is also close to the radius of Li(EC) 4 + species (0.37 nm) calculated by Matsuda et al [29] suggesting that all lithium cations are solvated by an average of four EC molecules.…”

“…Now in a world knowing a progressive electrification of transport systems LiBs are designed to fit the recommendations of large-scale applications such as electric vehicles but also aerospace and military devices. Therefore the continuing success and progress of the LiB technology depends on the careful choice of the battery components such as the electrode materials and the electrolyte [2][3][4].…”

A hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study on the solid electrolyte interphase of a lithium 4,5-dicyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)imidazolide based electrolyte for Si-electrodes

“…1) has recently been presented [27,28]. It is based on the imidazole ring and has all the desired properties in terms of conductivity and transference number required for use in lithiumion batteries.…”

Novel Lithium Imides; Effects of -F, -CF3, and -C≡N Substituents on Lithium Battery Salt Stability and Dissociation

“…18 Contrasting the linear and spherical anions is a third group of quasi-planar cyclic anions, such as 4,5-dicyano-1,2,3-triazolate (TADC), 19,20 and 4,5-dicyano-(2-trifluoromethyl)imidazolide (TDI). 21,22 Although the geometric characteristics of the three anion classes (spherical, linear, and planar) are different, they share functional constituents in the strongly electronegative -F, -CF 3 , and -CÔN groups (BOB being the notable exception).…”
