The physicochemical properties of an intermediate temperature ionic liquid (ITIL), NaTFSA (10 mol%)-CsTFSA (90 mol%) (TFSA = bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide), were investigated as a new electrolyte for a sodium secondary battery operating at elevated temperatures (around 423 K). The viscosity, ionic conductivity, density and electrochemical window of this ITIL measured at 423 K were 42.5 cP, 12.1 mS cm(-1), 2.29 g cm(-3) and 4.9 V, respectively. The electrodeposition of metallic sodium at the cathode limit was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The charge-discharge properties of a NaCrO2 positive electrode in this ITIL at 423 K were investigated. The discharge capacities at constant current rates of 10 mA g(-1) (after 10 cycles) and 100 mA g(-1) (after 50 cycles) were 83.0 and 66.4 mAh g(-1), respectively. Except for the initial few cycles, the coulombic efficiencies were higher than 99.5% during the charge-discharge tests, which indicates that the Na/NaTFSA-CsTFSA/NaCrO2 cell is promising as a new type of sodium secondary battery operating at intermediate temperatures.
