Polyfluorinated boron cluster based slats: A new electrolyte for application in nonaqueous asymmetric AC/Li4Ti5O12 supercapacitors
Solution of novel fluorinated lithium dodecaborate (Li2B12FxH12-x) salts have been evaluated as electrolytes in nonaqueous asymmetric supercapacitors with Li4Ti5O12 as negative electrode, and activated (AC) as positive electrode. The results obtained with these new electrolytes were compared with those obtained with cells built using standard 1M LiPF6 dissolved in ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate (EC:DMC; 1:1, v/v) as electrolyte. The Specific energy, rate capability, and cycling performances of nonaqueous asymmetric cells based on these new electrolyte salts were studied. Cells assembled using the new fluoroborate salts show excellent reversibility, coulombic efficiency, rate capability and improved cyclability when compared with the standard electrolyte. These features confirm the suitability of lithium-fluoro-borate based salts to be used in nonaqueous asymmetric supercapacitors. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
