N-Methoxyethyl-N-methyldiethylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide salt has a conductivity of 2.6 mS/cm and a density of 1.4073 g/cm³, which is high, and the high density helps to store more reactive ions in a limited space, which is important in energy storage devices, such as those used in batteries with a high energy density.The thermal decomposition of N-MEDMA-TFSI has a temperature as high as 390°C, showing excellent thermal stability. It maintains its chemical integrity at high temperatures without decomposition or degradation, making it particularly suitable for applications where high temperature stability is required, such as high temperature batteries or industrial catalysis. Compared to some common organic solvents or electrolytes, this ionic liquid is more stable over long periods of time at high temperatures.
Applications
Electrochemistry: Its thermal stability enables it to perform well in high temperature batteries. In addition, in supercapacitors, its low viscosity helps to accelerate charge/ion transfer and improve the charging/discharging efficiency of the device.
Energy storage devices: N-MEDMA-TFSI can be used in lithium-ion batteries, electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) and other energy storage devices to enhance overall energy storage and cycling performance.
Separation technology: Due to its high solubility and chemical inertness, this ionic liquid can also be used as a separation and extraction solvent, especially in environments where high chemical stability is required, such as gas separation or organic separation.
Catalysis: As a green solvent, it provides good chemical stability in multiphase catalysis and is less prone to decomposition in catalytic processes requiring high reaction temperatures.
