General description

Bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt is a synthetic reagent.

LiTFSI exhibits high ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability. Used as an electrolyte additive in energy storage devices.

Application

Bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt may be used in the following studies:
  • As ionic liquid in the preparation of gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) using solution casting technique.
  • To compose unique nonflammable electrolyte, having thermal stability beyond 200°C and a remarkably high transference number, for lithium-ion batteries.
  • As electrolyte for the Li-O2 batteries.
  • To compose the solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries.

Aprotic rechargeable Li-O2 batteries are currently receiving considerable interest because they can possibly offer significantly higher energy densities than conventional Li-ion batteries. The electrochemical behavior of Li-O2 batteries containing bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt (LiTFSI)/tetraglyme electrolyte were investigated by galvanostatic cycling and

The flammability of conventional alkyl carbonate electrolytes hinders the integration of large-scale lithium-ion batteries in transportation and grid storage applications. In this study, we have prepared a unique nonflammable electrolyte composed of low molecular weight perfluoropolyethers and bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt.

Energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) was used to determine the distribution of lithium ions in solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries. The electrolytes of interest are mixtures of bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonimide lithium salt and symmetric poly(styrene-block-ethylene oxide) copolymers (SEO). In contrast to
