description

Densities, viscosities and ionic conductivities of single salts and the binary eutectic mixtures of alkali bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amides, MTFSAs (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs), were measured in the temperature range of 413–573 K. Cyclic voltammetry revealed that the binary eutectic melts have wide electrochemical windows of 5.0–6.0 V. It was found that alkali metals reversibly deposit on a nickel electrode at the cathode limit potentials. The order of the deposition potential was determined to be Na > Li > (K, Rb, Cs).

Viscosities were measured by a viscometer (DV-II+ PRO,Brookeld Engineering Laboratories). Ionic conductivities weremeasured with an AC impedancemethod (IVIUMSTAT, Ivium tech-nologies, frequency: 1MHz). The cell constant was determined bythe measurement of a KCl standard solution at 291K.

    Electrochemical windows of the eutectic LiTFSAMTFSA(M=Na, K, Rb, Cs), and NaTFSACsTFSA melts were measured bymeans of cyclic voltammetry. The limiting potentials are dened asthe potentials at a current density of 0.1mAcm2. Electrochemicalmeasurements were performed by the three-electrode method inan argon-lled glove box. A nickel disk (6mm in diameter, 0.1mmin thickness) or a glassy carbon rod (3mm in diameter) was usedfor the working electrode. A glassy carbon rod (3mm in diameter)was also used for the counter electrode. A lithium foil was used forthe reference electrode in the eutectic LiTFSAMTFSA (M=K, Rb,Cs) melts. In the cases of Li67Na33 (the abbreviation of the eutec-tic LiTFSANaTFSA with xLiTFSA =0.33. All the binary salts describedhere are eutectic mixtures.) and Na07Cs93 melts, sodium metalwas used for the reference electrode material. The scan rate for thecyclic voltammetry was 10mVs1.

    4. Conclusions

    Densities, viscosities, ionic conductivities and electrochemicalwindows of the binary eutectic MTFSA salts have been studied.The densities are measured in order to calculate the molar con-ductivities. The viscosities of the melts are higher and the ionicconductivities become lower when the concentration of the saltcontaining a small cation such as lithium ion is higher. However,the binary eutectic MTFSA melts have higher ionic conductivitiesat intermediate temperatures than room temperature ionic con-ductivities of room temperature ionic liquids containing lithiumsalts even with high concentration of lithium salts or sodium salts.The viscosities and the ionic conductivities are described well byVTF equations. Logarithmic molar conductivity is proportional tologarithmic reciprocal viscosity and obeys a fractional Waldensrule. The binary eutectic MTFSA salts have large electrochemicalwindows of about 5.0V at intermediate temperatures. The reac-tions at the cathode limit of Li43K57, Li25Rb75 and Li07Cs93melts are identied to be the lithium metal deposition. In the caseof Na07Cs93 melt, the reaction at the cathode limit is sodiummetal deposition. In the case of Li67Na33melt, the reaction at thecathode limit is simultaneous deposition of sodium and lithium

    probably due to overpotential for sodium deposition. It has beenfound that alkali metal deposition is possible in these melts. Theanode limit of the binary eutectic melts is considered to be the oxi-dation of TFSA anion. The binary eutecticMTFSAmelts are expectedto use as electrolytes of lithium or sodium metal batteries.
