Extended Tests of Pyrazolides As Lithium Salts for Lithium-Ion Cells
Fig. 1: Structures and half-cell cycling with different discharge rates of the anionic pyrazolides and their modified types, RF representing perfluorinated alkyl chains of different lengths.
Both, an efficient synthetic route as well as a thorough characterization of electrochemical stability and conductivity as well as cell tests were carried out. The salts showed an excellent electrochemical stability in non-aqueous solvents up to +5 V vs. Li/Li+. Moreover, cycling of LiFePO4 half-cells revealed structure-conductivity relationships for the novel salts. Both salt-types allowed at least 200 full cycles. Thus, the novel class lithium salts exhibits promising candidates for novel liquid and polymeric electrolyte systems and future safe lithium ion batteries.
