Chloroaluminate Gel Electrolytes Prepared with Copolymers Based on Imidazolium Ionic Liquids and Deep Eutectic Solvent AlCl3:Urea
Polymer gel electrolytes (PGEs) have been prepared with copolymers based on imida zolium ionic liquids and the deep eutectic mixture of AlCl3 :urea (uralumina) as liquid electrolyte. The copolymers were synthesized by photopolymerization of vinylpirrolidone or methylmethacrylate with imidazolium bis...

| Resumo: | Polymer gel electrolytes (PGEs) have been prepared with copolymers based on imida zolium ionic liquids and the deep eutectic mixture of AlCl3 :urea (uralumina) as liquid electrolyte. The copolymers were synthesized by photopolymerization of vinylpirrolidone or methylmethacrylate with imidazolium bis (trifluoromethane sulfonyl) imide (TFSI) ionic liquid monomer and mixed in an increasing range of wt.% with uralumina. The rheology and electrochemical activity of PGEs were highly dependent on the molar ratio of charged groups and copolymer content. Structure of the PGEs was studied by FTIR and Raman spectroscopy and a correlation between interactions poly mer/uralumina and changes in speciation of uralumina was established. Despite the low molecular weight of the copolymers, the resulting polymer electrolytes develop elastomeric character associated with the binding ionic species. Although there is room to improve the electrochemical activity, in this study these new gels provide sufficient electroactivity to make them feasible alternatives as electrolytes in secondary aluminum batteries. |
