Modular Platform for Synthesis of Poly(Ionic Liquid) Electrolytes for Electrochemical Applications in Supercapacitors

摘要

Pyrrolidinium based poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) are successfully obtained and characterized. Special attention is paid to the detailed characterization of the polymer products to determine their molecular-mass characteristics and to establish the composition-property relationship when selecting polymer electrolytes suitable for electrochemical tests. Characterization is performed using: chromatographic methods-combined gel permeation chromatography (GPC) with triple detection-refrac- tometry, UV and laser light scattering; spectroscopy methods- Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), proton (1H) NMR spectro- scopy; thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and TGA/gas chroma- tography (GC)/mass selective detection (MSD).
