Abstract:
Perfluoropolyether electrolytes have either one or two terminal nitrile groups and an alkali metal salt. The alkali metal salt can be a lithium salt, a sodium salt, a potassium salt, or a cesium salt. The salt can make up between 5 and 30 wt% of the electrolyte composition. Such electrolytes have shown high ionic conductivities, making them useful as lithium cell electrolytes.
Abstract:
This invention relates generally to electrolytes for use in electrochemical cells that employ alkali metals, and, more specifically, to fluorinated electrolytes for use in lithium-containing batteries. Perfluoropolyether electrolytes terminated with polar substituents such as cyclic carbonates show enhanced ionic conductivities when formulated with lithium bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide, making them useful for use as lithium cell electrolytes.
