Thermal properties and ion conductive characteristics of equimolar mixtures of zwitterion and lithium salts (Z/L mixtures) have been investigated. Through a systematic study of their structure–property relationship, we describe a zwitterion structure that produces high ionic conductivity when the zwitterion is mixed with lithium salt. We found that a pure zwitterion containing imide anion melted at 87 °C and the melting point of pure zwitterions was lowered in proportion to the alkyl spacer chain length between the anion and cation sites. In Z/L mixtures, ionic liquid-like domain formed between the cation sites of zwitterions and the anions of lithium salts regardless of the anion structure of the zwitterions. However, the anion structure affected the transference number of the lithium cation in the Z/L mixtures. To improve the thermal stability and the ionic conductivity of Z/L mixtures, suitable alkyl chain length between the cation and anion sites was determined to be 5 to 7 CH2 units.
我们研究了齐聚物和
锂盐等摩尔混合物(Z/L 混合物)的热性能和离子导电特性。通过对它们的结构-性质关系进行系统研究,我们描述了一种在与
锂盐混合时能产生高离子导电性的齐聚物结构。我们发现,含有
酰亚胺阴离子的纯滋特离子在 87 °C 时熔化,纯滋特离子的熔点随阴离子和阳离子位点之间的烷基间隔链长度成比例地降低。在 Z/L 混合物中,无论齐聚物的阴离子结构如何,齐聚物的阳离子位点和
锂盐的阴离子之间都会形成类似
离子液体的结构域。然而,阴离子结构会影响
锂阳离子在 Z/L 混合物中的转移数量。为了提高 Z/L 混合物的热稳定性和离子传导性,阳离子和阴离子位点之间合适的烷基链长度被确定为 5 至 7 个
CH2 单位。
