Protic ionic liquids as innovative electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries

拟议的项目重点是研究锂离子电池的创新电解液。其目的是从质子离子液体(PILs)作为锂离子电池电解液的用途出发，获得对其化学物理性质的新见解。PILS具有离子液体的所有优良性质，但相对于目前所研究的非质子离子液体而言，它的优点是更容易合成和更便宜。最近的结果表明，这类离子液体是锂离子电池的一种新的、有趣的电解液。然而，与PILS基电解液的使用有关的许多方面仍然需要调查。该项目的成果将为先进的离子液体电解液和更安全的锂离子电池的设计带来新的重要知识。

The proposed project focus on the investigation of innovative electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. The aim is to acquire to acquire new insight about the chemical-physical properties of protic ionic liquids (PILs) in view of their use as electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. PILs display all favourable properties of ionic liquid, but with the advantage of being easier to synthesize and cheaper with respect aprotic ionic liq-uids so far investigated. Recent results indicated this subset of ionic liquids as a new and interesting class of electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries. Nevertheless, many aspects related to the use of PILs-based electrolytes still need to be investigated. The results of this project will bring new and important knowledge in view of the design of advanced ionic liquids-based electrolytes and safer lithium-ion batteries.
