Poly(Ionic Liquid) as an Anion Exchange Membrane for a 3.3 V Copper-Lithium Battery

Kaiming Xue et al.

Summary: Metal-metal batteries have great potential for large-scale energy storage systems due to their simple manufacturing process and low production costs. However, the migration of metal cations from the cathode to the anode reduces capacity and affects battery stability. To address this issue, a coating of poly (ionic liquid) (PIL) with poly(diallyldimethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide) (PDADMA(+)TFSI(-)) on a commercial polypropylene (PP) separator is utilized as an anion exchange membrane for a copper-lithium battery. The PIL coating improves Coulombic efficiency, long-term cycling stability, and inhibits self-discharge of the battery.

Preparation of imidazolium based polymerized ionic liquids gel polymer electrolytes for high-performance lithium batteries

Huizhe Niu et al.

Summary: Ionic liquid gel polymer electrolytes (GPE) have the advantages of high ionic conductivity, safety, and compatibility with electrodes. However, the addition of ionic liquid plasticizers to enhance conductivity compromises the mechanical strength. Polymerized ionic liquids (PIL) combine the properties of polymers and ionic liquids, offering superiorities beyond traditional ionic liquids. In this study, a PIL was synthesized and blended with PVDF, an ionic liquid, and a lithium salt to prepare PIL gel electrolyte (PIL-GPE@IL) for lithium batteries. The PIL-GPE@IL exhibited moderate mechanical strength, high ion conductivity, and excellent electrochemical stability. The lithium batteries assembled with PIL-GPE@IL demonstrated outstanding rate performance and cycle performance, indicating the potential of PIL-GPE@IL to enhance battery performance.

Liquid polymerized ionic liquids for energy storage applications q

Shuxiao Li et al.

Summary: Supported liquid membranes (SLM) show promise in improving molecular and ionic transport in polyelectrolyte membranes (PEM), which are crucial components in batteries and fuel cells. Incorporating ionic liquids (IL) into PEM has been found to enhance molecular and ionic transport, and it is likely that liquid polymerized ionic liquids (LPIL) would also have similar benefits for PEM properties. In this study, we demonstrate the preparation of LPIL copolymers that can be tethered to SLM, and we identify a design principle for producing LPIL using liquid precursors derived from modified homopolymers. Specifically, we show that poly(bromoundecyl acrylate), poly (AcOC11H22Br), is a suitable liquid precursor that can be converted into LPIL by alkylation with 1-methyl imidazole.

Summary: A series of polymer-based ionic liquids (PILs) with flexible and electron-rich polymeric chains have been designed as lubricants for steel-steel systems.

Summary: The ion diameter of ionic liquids (ILs) has a significant influence on the shear viscosity of polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) in IL solutions. The specific viscosity first decreases and then increases with increasing IL concentration when both PIL and IL contain large PFSI anions, attributed to the charge underscreening phenomenon. However, when PIL and IL contain small BF4 anions, the specific viscosity decreases asymptotically with increasing IL concentration due to full charge screening.

Bi-functional interfaces by poly(ionic liquid) treatment in efficient pin and nip perovskite solar cells

Pietro Caprioglio et al.

Summary: The study highlights the use of poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) to introduce a multi-functional interlayer in perovskite solar cells, leading to significant improvements in efficiency and stability across different perovskite compositions and architectures. By passivating surface traps and enhancing charge extraction, the PIL-treated devices achieved outstanding V-OC and FF values, with the best devices reaching conversion efficiencies up to 21.4%. Moreover, the PIL treatment also enhanced stability during power tracking and maintained efficiencies after long-term storage, showcasing the versatility and effectiveness of this methodology.

Effects of repeat unit charge density on the physical and electrochemical properties of novel heterocationic poly(ionic liquid)s

Merlin Cotessat et al.

Summary: This study reports the synthesis and structure/property correlations of a series of eight poly(ionic liquid)s obtained through sequential copper-catalyzed reactions. The physical, ion conducting, and electrochemical properties were discussed based on the charge density and structure of the cationic moieties. Ionic conductivity depends on the ratio of charge carriers to surrounding atoms/groups and the nature of the cation.
