Fluorinated ionic liquids for battery electrolytes
An ionic liquid comprising a cationic chemical species and an anionic chemical species. The cationic chemical species comprising a nitrogen containing moiety and a partially fluorinated alkyl chain moiety, wherein the partially fluorinated alkyl chain moiety is bonded to a nitrogen atom of the nitrogen containing moiety. The ionic liquid can be used as an electrolyte, as an additive to an organic solvent, as a lubricant, as a hydrophobic coating, as a treatment for fluorinated pollutants, as an electrolyte for sensor applications, as a stabilizing additive for existing battery electrolytes, and as an emulsifier.
