Our GREENCAP partners from FSU and SOLV have recently published an article titled: “Electrochemical performance of electrochemical double layer capacitors containing pyrrolidinium and ammonium fluorosulfonyl imide in acetonitrile-based electrolytes” in Electrochimica Acta. The study explores the use of Pyr13FSI and N1113FSI ionic liquids (ILs) in the formulation of ACN-based electrolytes for electrical double layer capacitors (EDLCs). These electrolytes demonstrate promising transport and thermal properties, comparable to (or exceeding) those of conventional 1 M TEABF₄ in ACN. When employed in EDLCs, they enable the development of devices with excellent energy and power, maintained across a broad temperature range. Furthermore, charge-discharge cycling indicates that the stability of these alternative electrolytes is comparable to that of devices containing conventional electrolytes.
Congratulations to FSU and SOLV on this achievement!
