Enabling Science for Redox Flow Batteries based on Room Temperature Ionic Liquids (Paragraph 7.2, Electrochemistry)
Abstract
Much of the interest for ionic liquids has been centered on their possible use as alternatives to volatile organic solvents, because they are considered as non-volatile and consequently non- flammable at ambient and higher temperatures. Ionic liquids can play the role of both solvents and electrolytes in electrochemical reactions. As ionic liquid components can be used as electrochemically active couples, we can take advantage of a maximum concentration of active species for high energy density. Ionic liquid flow battery based on the AlCl3: 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium chloride (EMI-AlCl4) has already been described in the literature. During charging acidic chloroaluminate melt is fed into the battery.
