Due to their high glass transition temperatures, ionic liquids based on closo-boron clusters have been long discounted from consideration in energy storage applications. Here, we report a strategy that resulted in a novel family of closo-boron-cluster based room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs). Their very low glass transition temperatures, high cathodic and anodic stabilities and compatibility with Li and Mg metals make them excellent candidates as electrolytes for rechargeable batteries and hybrid devices.

用于储能的新型多功能室温离子液体†

由于其高玻璃化转变温度，基于离子液体闭合碳-硼集群早已从考虑储能应用的折扣。在这里，我们报告说，导致一个新家族的战略闭合碳-硼-基于集群的室温离子液体（离子液体）。它们极低的玻璃化转变温度，高的阴极和阳极稳定性以及与Li和Mg金属的相容性，使其成为可再充电电池和混合设备电解质的极佳选择。
