ionic liquid

The cyclic voltammetry was used to study the behavior of a symmetric supercapacitor with activated carbon cloth electrodes and a solution of an ionic liquid (C₈H₁₅N₂PF₆) in freon-22 as an electrolyte in the temperature range from  − 140 to  + 130°C. The measurements were carried out in a special autoclave. At temperatures above 90°C, the supercapacitor exhibits purely capacitive behavior, whereas at the temperature lowering, the influence of resistance strongly increases.

A various features of the electrochemical behavior of number superfine carbon materials in electrolyte based on an ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-butilimidazolium tetrafluorineborate (1Me3BuImBF4) were determined by voltammetry and impedance methods. A comparative analysis of the effect of the type and nature of the electrolyte material on the main electrochemical characteristics of carbon electrodes which may be used in supercapacitors was done.

The effect of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (EMIBF4) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIBF4) ionic liquids on the properties of the polymer electrolyte based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG-DA) and LiBF4 salt was studied. Research was carried out by spray-mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy technique in the temperature range from -40 to 120 °C.
