Systems for ionic liquid-based electrolytes for high-energy batteries

摘要

A system for producing electrical energy from a chemical reagent in a compartmentalized cell, the system comprising: at least two electrodes comprising at least one anode and at least one intercalation cathode; at least one separator separating the anode and the cathode; and an ionic liquid electrolyte system. The system may be a battery or one or more cells of a battery system. The ionic liquid electrolyte system may include an ionic liquid solvent; an ether cosolvent comprising a minor fraction of the electrolyte by weight; and lithium salts. In a preferred variant, the anode is a lithium metal anode, the cathode is a metal oxide cathode and the separator is a polyolefin separator.
