The article was appeared in 《ChemSusChem》. They have made some progress in their research.Category: imidazoles-derivatives The article mentions the following:
Al-based batteries are promising next-generation rechargeable batteries owing to the abundance of raw materials and their high potential energy d. The Al-S system has attracted considerable attention because of its high energy d. and low cost. However, its low discharge voltage plateau (0.6-1.2 V) hampers its practical application. Herein, eight ionic liquids or deep eutectic solvents were studied as electrolyte candidates for an Al-S cell. This was the first study to demonstrate that an Al-S cell based on an AlCl3/acetamide electrolyte (1.3 molar ratio) showed high discharge voltage plateaus (1.65-1.95 V) and a charging cut-off voltage of 2.5 V in Al-S cells. An Al-S cell of 0.33 mAh capacity with the AlCl3/acetamide electrolyte successfully lit up a red LED (forward voltage 1.6-2.0 V) for around 2 h. This work may help in promoting the development of high-performance and low-cost Al-S cells. And 1-Ethyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (cas: 65039-09-0) was used in the research process.
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.Category: imidazoles-derivatives
