Abstract

Inorganic ionic liquids such as Na[FSA]-K[FSA] and inorganic–organic hybrid ionic liquids such as Na[FSA]-[C3C1pyrr][FSA] (C3C1pyrr =N-propyl-N-methylpyrrolidinium, FSA = bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide) and Na[FSA]-[C2C1im][FSA] (C2C1im = 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium) were investigated as potential electrolytes for sodium secondary batteries operating in the temperature range of 253–363 K. The cyclic voltammetry revealed that the electrochemical windows of more than 5 V at 363 K, and electrochemical deposition/dissolution of sodium metal reversibly occurs at the cathode limit potential. Considering their non-volatility, non-flammability and inexpensiveness, these salt mixtures are highly promising as a new class of electrolytes for sodium secondary batteries. The full cell tests employing NaCrO2 and hard carbon as positive and negative electrode materials, respectively, revealed the high performance of the ionic liquid electrolytes for sodium secondary batteries.
