  • Title: Formulation of ionic-liquid electrolyte to expand the voltage window of supercapacitors.
    Author: Van Aken KL, Beidaghi M, Gogotsi Y.
    Journal: Angew Chem Int Ed Engl; 2015 Apr 13; 54(16):4806-9. PubMed ID: 25788418.
    Abstract:
    An effective method to expand the operating potential window (OPW) of electrochemical capacitors based on formulating the ionic-liquid (IL) electrolytes is reported. Using model electrochemical cells based on two identical onion-like carbon (OLC) electrodes and two different IL electrolytes and their mixtures, it was shown that the asymmetric behavior of the electrolyte cation and anion toward the two electrodes limits the OPW of the cell and therefore its energy density. Also, a general solution to this problem is proposed by formulating the IL electrolyte mixtures to balance the capacitance of electrodes in a symmetric supercapacitor.
