New tetrabutylphosphonium organic ionic plastic crystals incorporating borate anions
New tetrabutylphosphonium organic ionic plastic crystals incorporating borate anions Organic plastic crystals have seen rapid growth in their development and potential application as solid-state electrolytes in electrochemical devices. Two tetrabutylphosphonium ([P4444]+) salts incorporating non-halogenated bis(butane-1,4-dioxy)borate ([B(bdo)2]-) and tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate ([B(pyr)4]-) anions have been synthesised and their physicochemical properties characterised.

Non‐fluorinated Zinc Anions: A Low‐Cost Environmental Approach for Reversible Zinc Electrochemistry
Abstract Non-fluorinated Zn(dca)2 electrolyte: For the first time, the electrochemical cycling of zinc is demonstrated in a non-fluorinated, low-cost, environmentally friendly and highly concentrated (≥1.0 M) electrolyte (zinc dicyanamide in dimethyl sulfoxide). Post zinc symmetrical cell cycling >90 cycles shows a dense and smooth zinc morphology with the formation of a zinc nitride-rich stable solid-electrolyte interface, making these electrolytes attractive for rechargeable zinc batteries.

Novel and versatile room temperature ionic liquids for energy storage
Novel and versatile room temperature ionic liquids for energy storage Due to their high glass transition temperatures, ionic liquids based on closo-boron clusters have been long discounted from consideration in energy storage applications. Here, we report a strategy that resulted in a novel family of closo-boron-cluster based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs).

Novel and versatile room temperature ionic liquids for energy storage
Due to their high glass transition temperature, ionic liquids based on closo-boron clusters have been long discounted from consideration in energy storage applications. Here, we report a strategy that resulted in a novel family of closo-boron-cluster based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Their very low glass transition, high cathodic and anodic stabilities and compatibility with Li and Mg metals make them excellent candidates as electrolytes for rechargeable batteries and hybrid devices.
Ionic liquid electrolytes supporting high energy density in sodium-ion batteries based on sodium vanadium phosphate composites
The sodium ion battery (SIB) is being considered widely as an alternative, sustainable, and cost-effective energy storage device for large-scale energy storage applications. In this work, an easily fabricated sodium vanadium phosphate – carbon composite (NVP@C) cathode material shows a good rate capability and long cycle life ( 89% capacity retention after 5000 cycles at 10C rate) with ionic liquid electrolyte for room temperature sodium metal battery.
Electro-synthesis of Ammonia from Nitrogen at Ambient Temperature and Pressure in Ionic Liquids
Ammonia as the source of most fertilizers has become one of the most important chemicals globally. It also is being increasingly considered as an easily transported carrier of hydrogen energy that can be generated from “stranded” renewable-energy resources.
New Dimensions in Salt-Solvent mixtures: A 4th Evolution of Ionic Liquids
In the field of ionic liquids (ILs) it has long been of fundamental interest to examine the transition from salt-in-solvent behaviour to pure liquid-salt behaviour, in terms of structures and properties. At the same time, a variety of applications have beneficially employed IL-solvent mixtures as media that offer an optimal set of properties. Their properties in many cases can be other than as expected on the basis of simple mixing concepts.
