The article was appeared in 《Advanced Materials (Weinheim, Germany)》. They have made some progress in their research.HPLC of Formula: 65039-09-0 The article mentions the following:
Nonaqueous rechargeable aluminum batteries (RABs) of low cost and high safety are promising for next-generation energy storage. With the presence of ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes, their high moisture sensitivity and poor stability would lead to critical issues in liquid RABs, including undesirable gas production, irreversible activity loss, and an unstable electrode interface, undermining the operation stability. To address such issues, herein, a stable quasi-solid-state electrolyte is developed via encapsulating a small amount of an IL into a metal-organic framework, which not only protects the IL from moisture, but creates sufficient ionic transport network between the active materials and the electrolyte. Owing to the generated stable states at both pos.-electrode-electrolyte and neg.-electrode-electrolyte interfaces, the as-assembled quasi-solid-state Al-graphite batteries deliver specific capacity of ≈75 mA h g-1 (with pos. electrode material loading ≈9 mg cm-2, much higher than that in the conventional liquid systems). The batteries present a long-term cycling stability beyond 2000 cycles, with great stability even upon exposure to air within 2 h and under flame combustion tests. Such technol. opens a new platform of designing highly safe rechargeable Al batteries for stable energy storage.1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (cas: 65039-09-0) were involved in the experimental procedure.
1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride(cas: 65039-09-0) is an imidazolium chloride ionic liquid that can be used as:a solvent as well as catalyst for the depolymerization of oak wood lignin; a solvent in the hydrolysis of hemicellulose (xylan) to xylose using Brønsted acid catalysts.HPLC of Formula: 65039-09-0
