Abstract

To improve the thermal stability of lithium- and sodium-ion batteries, the room-temperature molten salts /1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate and were used as ionic liquid (IL) electrolytes instead of flammable carbonate-type organic electrolyte solvents. To avoid cathodic decomposition of the IL electrolytes, a symmetric cell configuration with Na Superionic CONductor (NASICON)-type (where A is Li or Na) as both cathode and anode was tried in a coin-type cell (type 2320). As a result, both the polyanionic-based (LVP) as well as (NVP) symmetric cells using organic electrolytes were found to operate as secondary batteries and exhibited satisfactory electrochemical performances. The substitution of the organic electrolytes by the appropriate IL electrolytes in both cases resulted in the reduction in the first discharge capacities. However, the IL-based cells revealed better cyclability and a more stable behavior at elevated temperatures. The obtained electrochemical behavior of the symmetric cells was confirmed by the complex impedance measurements at 25 and . In addition, the thermal stability of LVP and NVP with the IL electrolytes was also examined.
